The world is a lesser place with your absence. I love and miss you
more than you know, Dad. February 05, 2019 A giant among men that I was privileged and honored to know. I look forward to seeing you, Brother, on the other side of the ocean.~ Bruce Smart February 05, 2019

I miss and love you, Brother!

We knew Ed from his presence at our Seafood Festival working
booth-he was a remarkable character and fit in well with our hard
working group. We are very sorry for the Beasley Family's loss and
the sadness at losing a member of the fine Beasley family.
Dear Ed - thank you for being the
best and most honourable of friends.
You are missed.
~ Claire Sandford
I will always remember as my dancing partner at the end of many
Seafood Festivals in Bena, Va. You were always a breath of fresh air
when you came to visit, and we loved having you in our booth. You
meant so much to your family, and we will all miss your presence in
the many Seafood Festivals to come. Our best wishes to all of your
family, Roger and Denise Dick
I knew
Ed as a
fun man
who
worked
in our
booth
during
the
Seafood
Festival.
Gone way to early. Thank you for your service, and Welcome Home. February 10, 2019  ~ Vivian Starnes Calhoun J ~ February 10, 2019

Onward Christian Soldiers
Words by Sabine
Baring Gould in Church Times, 1865
Music (St. Gertrude) by Arthur S. Sullivan, 1871
Onward Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banner go!
Chorus:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
2. At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell's foundation quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!
Chorus:
3. Like a mighty army
Moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
Chorus:
4. Onward, then, ye people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and Honor,
Unto Christ the King;
This thro' countless ages
Men and angels sing.
Chorus:
