This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Benson Jr Sumalinog/go who was born in Philippines on December 14, 1977 and passed away on March 31, 2004 at the age of 26. We will remember him forever. 

Circle me, Lord.
Keep protection near
And danger afar.

Circle me, Lord
Keep hope within.
Keep doubt without.

Circle me, Lord.
Keep light near
And darkness afar.

Circle me, Lord.
Keep peace within.
Keep evil out. 

"Come, let us climb the Lord's mountain to the house of the God of Jacob, where God instructs us in his ways that we may walk in his paths."
The lovely mountain where lowly sparrows feast, and one day outshines thousands elsewhere because you are there, my God.

The mountain close by, within, that I climb everyday; the holy ground I stand on now.
Light and truth, bright as blinding snow, whom Peter, James and John saw,"Lead me on, and bring me to your holy mountain, to your dwelling place."

Saint Theresa's Prayer

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have re ceived, and pass on the love that has been given to you
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.
