You really cannot say "And stands as an example to us all" in Latin.  It's
not even a real sentence in English, for that matter.  Neither of the
phrases you gave is grammatically independent.  You could say "He stands as
an example to us all" or "They stand as an example to us all" This would be:

Ut exemplar ad omnia eminet.

GLOSSARY
emineo, eminere, eminui (2nd conjugation verb) "to stand out, project, be
conspicuous" -- eminet (3rd person singular) "he/she/it stands"
