You're in our thoughts, Stevie.
Your Mom and Dad will be greatly missed. Some of our fondest memories
spent with them are
the sundowners shared during our visits to Pine Point. ~ Ron and Martha Newton, Clemson, South Carolina February 01, 2009
Eric, I know you will be in the
thoughts and prayers of many, especially those of us who were fortunate

O Lord of Life, Where'er They Be
- Lyrics by
Frederick L. Hosmer, 1888;
Music by
Melchior Vulpius (circa
1560-1615)
O Lord of life, where’er they be,
Safe in Thine own eternity,
Our dead are living unto Thee:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
All souls are Thine, and here or there
They rest within Thy sheltering care;
One providence alike they share:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thy Word is true, Thy ways are just;
Above the requiem, “Dust to dust,”
Shall rise our psalm of grateful trust:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
O happy they in God who rest,
No more by fear and doubt oppressed,
Living or dying, they are blest:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
