While you were still working at Monte Vista, Iene, you gave me a fuzzy white Easter lamb tied with a lavender ribbon around its neck and a cross on its neck.  I have kept it in Leah’s room in a small basinet and enjoyed seeing it often.  The little verse on it said,

May the Good and Gentle Shepherd
Keep you always in His care
Blessing, guarding, guiding you
Each day and everywhere.

Today I hugged that lamb and while I was doing that my heart went out to each of the Dias family and I prayed earnestly for you that the Good and Gentle Shepherd will bless, guard, guide you and surround you with his love and His presence.

Much love to each of you.
