    To the entire Schweigard extended family, and on behalf of my wife Pippa and I, our deepest condolences on the passing of my beloved Aunt Margaret. She had a wonderful life. I will always cherish the memories of the family events and gatherings, large and small, where we spent time with her and Uncle Eddie, and our great cousins and their families.

    The Lord is my Shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
    Fresh and green are the pastures where He gives me repose.
    Near restful waters He leads me to revive my drooping spirit.
    He leads me along the right paths for His Name’s sake.
    Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
    I will fear no evil, for You are with me.
    Your rod and your staff do comfort me.
    You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
    You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
    Surely your goodness and kindness will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
