I believe that we all are the artwork of God, and those who have passed before us should be recognized for their lives and achievements. Though they rest peacefully beneath us, their lives were important, had a purpose, and need to be remembered and memorialized in the name of God.

Memorable Quotations:

"My first wish is to see this plague to mankind Banished of the earth, and the sons and daughters Of this world employed in more pleasing and Innocent amusements, than in preparing Implements and exercising them for The destruction of mankind."
