Life is a journey traveled by all
Many will rise but none should fall
Follow the heavens as we live each day
Follow the Lord and we will find our way
Uncle Stink did this and he marked the path
Remember his life and it too will last

Be strong for God is on your side.

Curtis, Wilma, Joshua, Anthony and Corey
