My "Auntie" Gail is gone... still
very surreal for me... Thank you Lord for the wonderful holiday we all had
together before you took her home...thank you for her peaceful
passing...thank you for her sweetness & the unconditional love she gave us
all... thank you for her presence in my life. I know you are probably hovering worrying about how we all are doing like you always have..don't worry... we will be fine... you taught us perseverance by example. I am envisioning the reunions you are experiencing now to calm my tears.. imagining DoodleBug curled up in your lap... I am happy he didn't have to wait very long for you :) You will forever live in my heart, love your proud name sake, Pamela "Gale" Matthews |

Pamela "Gale" and family, Wanting to express my heartfelt sympathy to everyone who knew and loved your wonderful Auntie Gail. Pam, I know you feel like you just lost your "BAF" "best aunt forever" but believe me, she has never been closer to you than she is right now... she is alive and well in your soul. You have great memories of her that will not fade over time, but grow deeper and stronger as time marches on. The pain you feel will fade, the emptiness will fill with wonderful thoughts and images she blessed you with over the years. You got her name, good nature and her charming ways... she got your undying love. What a great tradeoff! So tonight when you go out and look at all those stars in the heaven.. remember there's one more shining down on you.. your namesake.. your beautiful Aunt Gail. |

Lead On, O King Eternal
Words by
Ernest
W. Shurtleff,
1888 (4 Apr 1862 - 24 Aug 1917)
Music (Lancashire) by
Henry T. Smart, 1836 (26 Oct 1813 -6 July 1879)
Shurtleff wrote this hymn wrote this hymn for the graduation ceremony at Andover Theological Seminary, where he was a member of the class of 1888.
Lead on, O King eternal,
The day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home:
Through days of preparation
Thy grace has made us strong,
And now, O King eternal,
We lift our battle song.
Lead on, O King eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And Holiness shall whisper
The sweet amen of peace;
For not with swords loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heav'nly kingdom comes.
Lead on, O King eternal,
We follow, not with fears;
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.
