Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I am very
saddened this Sunday to report of the death of
Karin Dearing, wife of
Sydney Dearing ('56) of TN,
and sister-in-law of
Nancy Dearing Berry ('62) of TX.
She passed away in
Knoxville, Tennessee on Friday,
February 11, 2011 at the age of 64.

From Sydney Dearing ('56) of TN - 02/12/11, 4:37 PM - "a sad day":
| Carol, I wanted to let everyone know that my wife passed away suddenly last night. She recently had some very serious health issues including Cardio Myopathy last June. She had pretty much completely recovered from that when she suddenly had an aortic dissection three weeks ago. An aortic dissection is a tear in the wall of the aorta. She spent 10 days in ICU where it was repaired with a 20 cm long stint. She had been getting better and stronger each day and we had actually seen her surgeon this past Thursday and he told her that everything looked great and she was free to go back to doing whatever she felt strong enough to do including going back to work if she wanted to. She had a very good day yesterday and felt fine. We watched some TV last night and had gone to bed and were reading when she suddenly clutched her throat and said she was having very severe neck pains which started down into her chest. I immediately called 911 but by the time I finished dialing she had collapsed. I did CPR at the direction of the 911 operator until the ambulance arrived 10 minutes later and they continued and transported her to the hospital. By then she had not been breathing for approx 30 minutes and the ER doctor ceased resuscitation efforts after about another 10 minutes. Next month would have been our 32nd anniversary and I will miss her more than I can say. Everyone please take good care of yourselves, life is too short to waste any of it. Sydney Dearing
Oh, Sydney, I'm so very, very
sorry to hear this! You and your family will be in the thoughts, hearts,
and prayers of all of us.

Carol,
Thank you so much for your
very kind note and thank you for everything you do for all of us in
the Typhoon nation. As I told others who have emailed me, one never
knows just how many kind and thoughtful people are out there until
tragedy strikes. Thanks for being one of them. Most of all thanks
for your prayers. I can use all of those I can get.
Sincerely,
Sydney Dearing
Thank you, Sydney.
Again you have my deepest sympathies.

All creatures of our God and King,
lift up your voices, let us sing:
Alleluia, alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beams,
thou silver moon that gently gleams,
Refrain:
O praise him, O praise him,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
ye clouds that sail in heaven along,
O praise him, Alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice,
ye lights of evening, find a voice, (R)
Thou flowing water, pure and clear,
make music for thy Lord to hear,
Alleluia, alleluia!
Thou fire so masterful and bright,
that givest man both warmth and light, (R)
Dear mother earth, who day by day
unfoldest blessings on our way,
O praise him, Alleluia!
The flowers and fruits that in thee grow,
let them his glory also show: (R)
And all ye men of tender heart,
forgiving others, take your part,
O sing ye Alleluia!
Ye who long pain and sorrow bear,
praise God and on him cast your care: (R)
And thou, most kind and gentle death,
waiting to hush our latest breath,
O praise him, Alleluia!
Thou leadest home the child of God,
and Christ our Lord the way hath trod: (R)
Let all things their Creator bless,
and worship him in humbleness,
O praise him, Alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
and praise the Spirit, Three in One: (R)
