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.
With deep sorrow we announce the sudden
passing of our beloved:

(AP) — U.S. House Speaker
