The Fulfillment of a Most Sacred Duty LIFE is barren for talose who live alone. Happiness comes only when there are others to strive for and work with, Success is hardly worth the effort without someone else to ,hare it, Thus lives are linked together, within the family, among relatives and friends. In a larger sense families are linked to their communities. There always comes a time when those who have shared joys and cares together etre sepat'ated. They who remain will want to cherish the memory of the departed. But there is a further obligation due those who have passed beyond. There lives have not been lived in vain -so a permanent memorial should be erected as is mark of respect, honor and appreciation. This duty is regarded as so sacred that one eannot ignore it, Place your order early so that yon will give me time to work out the details to your satisfaction, Brussels Granite and Marble Warks A.
