Inscription.

"A limb has fallen from the family tree
I hear a voice that whispers, "Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times, the laughter, the songs.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.
Keep on smiling, the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all…how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small,
Go on with your lives, don't stare at the wall.
I miss you all dearly so keep up your chin
Until that fine day we're together again."

- Author Unknown -
"There is no greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends."
-John 15:13

Dedicated to the memory of Marshall County citizens who died in service to our nation
