In Memoriams
Alice Ann CARR (Nee James)
(Nee James ) 1966 - 2019 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want, he maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. (ALICE, I stood in your shadow for 36 years, yet my love for thee did not wane, l have always loved you) Terry Barnes Dublin
