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.
Testimonies of devotion, pride and warmth are carved in stone to pay warm
tribute to accomplishments 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 a people, a perpetual
record of yesterday and a sanctuary of peace and quiet today.
A cemetery exists because every life is worth loving and remembering – always.
[From the Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery brochure, Middle Village, New York, author unknown]
The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
Proverbs 4:18 NIV
Have a great day!
