Knights Chapel CME Church in Hernando, Mississippi
IN REMEMBRANCE OF OUR DECEASED
BEYOND LIFE'S GATEWAY
THERE IS AN OPEN GATE AT THE END OF THE ROAD THROUGH WHICH EACH MUST GO ALONE, AND THERE IS A LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE BUT THE FATHER CLAIMS IT AS HIS OWN.
BEYOND THIS GATE OUR LOVED ONES FIND HAPPINESS AT REST AND THERE IS COMFORT IN THE THOUGHT THAT A LOVING GOD KNOWS BEST.
MAY THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED ON CONTINUE TO BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE RICH HISTORY OF OUR FAMILY.
SHOULD THERE BE NAMES WHOM WE HAVE OMITTED INADVERTENTLY, WITH LOVE AND ADMIRATION WE REVERE THOSE DEEPLY WITHIN OUR MEMORY AND FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.
"If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my
appointed time will I wait, till my change come."
Job 14:14
