Why did he go buy TACOS, if Tempo had
a free buffet all night as advertised.
And, besides the parking always has
gurds on the site on weekends or holidays. There is never a line on
that roach coach, so someone lied.
He was a part of our Community, and
a brother to all. Help solve the crime.
Keep us safe.

Now when the number of my years
is all fulfilled, and I
From sedentary life
Shall rouse me up to die,
Bury me low and let me lie
Under the wide and starry sky.
Joying me live, I joyed to die,
Bury me low and let me lie.
Clear was my soul, my deeds were fee
Honour was called my name,
I fell not back from fear
Nor followed after FAME
Bury me low and l me lie
Under the wide and starry sky
Joying to live, I joyed to die,
Bury me low and le me lie.
Bury me low in valleys green
And where the milder breeze
Blows fresh along the stream,
Sings roundly in the trees-
Bury me low and le me lie
Under the wide and starry sky
Joying to live, I joyed to die,
Bury me low and le me lie.

O God, in whose hands are the souls of all the living and the spirits of all flesh, standing at the site of Jesus Cruz who has been taken from his family circle, We thank YOU for all that was true and good in his life, for all that was sweet and aspiring in his character. May this hour/year consecrated to the memory of the departed, bring its message of consolation to the mourners. May Your love confort and sustain them, that walking in the valley of the shadow of death, they may see Your light As we dedicate this memorial-site, help us, O God, to honor "Martin" by our actions and aspirations, May his memory lead us to love You with all our hearts, Then, indeed, will that memory be a blessing.
