Dear Lisa, Chelsea, Rachel &
family,
Our deepest sympathy to you in your loss of such a great man and servant of Our Lord. Bellamy Church will surely miss him, also, but how the heavens shall rejoice at his coming. He had so many God given talents and was such a joy to be around. Thoughts of him in his apron and hat, and his famous horse outfit will always bring a smile to our faces. May the words of The Prophet offer you some comfort.... For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.... Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance. May God be with you and give you peace. February 22, 2009
To The Champ Family we extend
our deepest sympathy. We knew Fred through Bellamy church as a caring and
loving person. We knew his wife and girls as devoted Christians and loving
people. He will be deeply missed by all.
February 22, 2009
As the days and weeks pass, and
as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the
love and support of family and friends.

Lisa and Fred's Family I was shocked to hear about the passing of Fred. My sympathy and prayers go out to you all at your loss of Fred. I lost my brother back on Sept.9, 2008. I have always thought a lot of you and Fred and I will miss Fred. I will always remember our days at Ames. May God bless you and the family at this difficult time. February 22, 2009

loved one. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you ever need anything.
My prayers are with each and everyone of you. God bless.

Lisa and family,
I was so surprised to see that Fred "Champ" had passed away. I remember his sweet disposition back in the Murphy's Mart/ Ames days. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that you find comfort not only through God's love but also through your many happy memories of Champ. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Lisa and your family. Lori & Jeff Wilson

Servant of God, Well Done!
Words by
Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
Music by
George J. Elvey (27 Mar 1816 - 9 Dec 1893)
(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)
Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on
the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown
Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!
O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.
Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
