a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.

…He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men …”

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, 11

The Holy Bible, New International Version

The Chief will live on in our hearts…
