The Sailor's 23rd Psalm

"The Lord is my pilot, I shall not go adrift;
He lighteth my passage across dark channels;
He steereth me through the deep waters,
He keepeth my log.
He guideth me by the evening star for my safety's sake.
Yea, though I sail mid the
thunders and tempests of life,

I shall fear no peril, for Thou art with me,
Thy stars and heavens, they comfort me.
The vastness of thy sea upholds me.

Surely fair winds and safe harbors shall be found
All the days of my life;
And I shall moor, fast and secure, forever.
Amen."

Noreen and family,
Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. Your sailor will be watching over you now.

Sincerly,
Liz Paciello & Steve Rappa USN

Cousins,
We are very sorry for your loss. Our uncle was truly a handsome character. I am fortunate to have the memory of a recent visit with Uncle Carm when he and Noreen dropped in on Marlene after a recent appointment in Peabody. My recollection is of the warm greeting, hugs and a pastry box in hand. I truly hope you realize how much we appreciate your generosity in designating donations to the Marlene (Opidee) Austin Fund to aid in her battle with ALS.
Love you
Your cousins Marie, Marilyn and Marlene.
