Scope and Content

Obverse: Jesus Christ stands with one hand to his heart and the other pointing up while he looks up in the same direction. Reverse: "In Loving Memory of Valentin Francisco Gavito. Born: October 10, 1919. Died: June 29, 2007. 23rd Psalm. The lord is my shepherd: I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
