Inscription
Front:
The purpose and love of my life is Jesus Christ.
I don't have to argue religion, philosophy,
or historical evidence, because I KNOW HIM.
He is just as real, if not more so, as my earthly father."
Lauren McCain
December 20, 1986 - April 16, 2007
Back:
Trust in the Lord and do good;
Dwell in the land
and cultivate faithfulness.
Delight yourself in the Lord.
And He will give you
the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37: 3-4
