5. This is a Cemetery...
Lives are commemorated -
Deaths are recorded -
Families are reunited -
Memories are made tangible -
And love is undisguised.
This is a cemetery.
Communities accord respect,
Families bestow reverence,
Historians seek information
And our heritage is thereby enriched.
Testimony of devotion, pride and
Remembrance are cast in bronze to pay
Warm tribute to accomplishment
And to the life - not the death -
Of a loved one.
The cemetery is homeland for memorials
That are a sustaining source of comfort
to the living.
A cemetery is a history of people -
A perpetual record of yesterday and a
Sanctuary of peace and quiet today.
A cemetery exists because every life
Is worth living and remembering -
Always.

6. A Solitary Life Monument - Author Unknown
Here is a man who was born of Jewish parents in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman.
He grew up in another obscure village. He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty, and then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book.
He never held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put His foot in a big city.
He never traveled two hundred miles from the place where he was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but Himself.
He had nothing to do with this world except the naked power of his divine manhood. While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends ran away. One of them denied him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial.
He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth while He was dying - and that was His coat. When he was dead He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.
Nineteen wide centuries have come and gone and today He is the centerpiece of human race and the leader of the column of progress. I am far within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever were built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that One Solitary Life.
