Psalm 90:12 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affl iction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are tempo- ral; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Riverhill 3x3 Products and Services We Offer ~ Cemetery Monuments ~ Bronze Plaques ~ Granite Signs ~ Cremation Products ~ Pet Markers ~ Cleaning & Restoration 1113 POLKVILLE ROAD • SHELBY, NC R IVERHIL L MONUMENT CO.
