From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precious_Memories:
Precious Memories is a traditional
gospel
hymn
credited to J.B.F. Wright in 1925. J. B. F. Wright was born in
Tennessee, February 21, 1877. It has been performed by a wide variety of
famous recording artists including
Johnny Cash,
Emmylou Harris,
Daniel O'Donnell, The
Edwin Hawkins Singers, and
Bob
Dylan. It was also the last song on the soundtrack of the
1979 film
Hardcore, then performed by
Susan Raye at the film's opening and closing credits. Aretha Franklin recorded the song for her album "Amazing Grace" (1972) and Ronnie Milsap for his album "Then Sings My Soul" (2009). |

HEALTH UPDATE:
From
Me
('65) of NC - 02/21/16:
My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph
HS, IL - '61) of NC, was transported from the doctor's office to
the hospital by ambulance at 6:30 PM on Thursday to receive emergency IV
antibiotics to treat critical
stasis
dermatitis and
celluitis of lower extremities to save
his knees from the
infection. His condition is complicated by Stage 3 Chronic Renal Failure, mild congestive heart
failure, enlarged heart, and a few other delights. He is responding well (if not
as quickly as we'd like) to medications. The swelling is going down,
and he is experiencing far less pain. Your continued prayers for his recovery
will be greatly
appreciated.

Precious Memories
- Music and Lyrics by J. B. F.
Wright (21 Feb 1877 -
???), 1925
Precious memories, unseen
angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me
And the sacred scenes unfold.
Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.
Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear.
In the stillness of the midnight
Echoes from the past I hear
Old-time singing, gladness bringing
From that lovely land somewhere.
I remember mother praying
Father, too, on bended knee
Sun is sinking, shadows falling
But their prayers still follow me.
As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul.
