The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children— with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.” Psalm 103:13-18 8 9 10 Pallbearers Jason Pullen Justin Pullen Josh Pullen Jake Pullen Jake Droddy Chuck Havard Interment R.S.
