IN MEMORY OF ODELL "BUTCH" ELLIS DEATH WITHA LIFE Death, an all mighty force of loss and unknown souls united as one. Death, demanding all and all, traveling through all and to be respected by all. Death, stops the prolonging, is world wide. Dead by death, and death by birth, it’s the only thing that’s manifested in the earth. Taking a trip in the lost city, be prepared to meet the unknown, open your mind and concentrate on nothing and listen just listen, but ° with all understanding. Don't try to correct anything. A negative nothing and a negative nothing equals a positive something. And that something is God. If you’re afraid of Death or if Death is manifested in you, only God can protect you and take Death from you.
