| 0:20.1 | A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth. |
| 0:27.4 | It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting, for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart. |

| 0:55.2 | This week, we've been taking the time to honor the life of a dear friend and mentor of mine, Vonette Bright. |
