"To be willing to give when there's no more to give,
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live,
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest"

The Clock That Striked 10

The clock above symbolizes the life of Eva, the 10th child of 12, and her 11 siblings. For decades, a clock similar to the one depicted, has been crafted and displayed at each siblings home-going to honor their time on earth. On May 9, 2024, the clock completed its final hour (10:00), when Mrs. Eva Shanks went home to glory; reuniting with her 11 siblings whom she missed, loved and adored!

Forever In Our Hearts 🤍
