I had the privilege of meeting
Gloria a number of times over the last 20 years through her daughter, Grace.
The first time I met Gloria, she was in her late 60's and had accompanied
Grace to an exercise class. Gloria got right down on the floor us and outdid
us all! February 22, 2011 ![]() February 22, 2011 What a wonderful beautiful
lady. I truly just looked at a photo of her and me yesterday which is in my
office when she presented me an award to honor her late husband. Many fond
and cherished memories of them both. We share humbly for your loss. February 22, 2011
Gracie and Alice - It is
truly a blessing that Gloria is finally at peace. What a lovely woman
and I shall always remember her kindness to me when I was a guest in
your home. These are the days we must chose to remember.
Much love from Margaret Kailos-Lee and Phil February 22, 2011
Alice and Grace - I'm so
sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Both of your parents were
wonderful people, remembered with great fondness. Your mother was one of
the most generous, gracious and kind ladies I have ever known. I
remember many happy days spent in your lovely home when we were
children. ~
Beverly Anderson Clement (Pawleys Island, SC) February 22, 2011 Dear Grace and Alice... The sad news of your mom's death arrived this morning and I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am to hear it. Your mother was such a beautiful and thoughtful person and did so much for so many over the years. We are blessed to have known her. Unfortunately, I am in MT and will not be able to visit with the two of you this week, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. ~ Bill Smith, Hampton, Virginia February 22, 2011 Mrs. Goldsmith
was a genuinely caring person. She opened her doors and
welcomed me to her home for my first Thanksgiving in 1962. I
will never forget her generosity. Our prayers and thoughts
are with Alice and Grace, you had a great mom. February 22, 2011
I
was so sorry to learn of your dear mother's
passing. She was such a gracious lady and
always had a kind word for the neighborhood
children (even when we hit our baseballs
into your yard; she would fetch them because
we were afraid of Mickey, the mighty
watchdog!) What a wonderful group of friends
we had in Indian River Park. My condolences
to you and your families at this difficult
time. May the good Lord guide and sustain
you in the days to come. Fondly,
~ Russ Gentry February 23, 2011
Grace and Alice, your Mother’s passing
brings us great sadness. Our thoughts and
prayers are with you, and your family, as
you celebrate her kind and generous life. We
hope that the love and support of family and
friends will help to give you strength and
peace through this difficult time. We share
many fond memories of our friendship with
your mother and father.
~ Vera Garth and family February 23, 2011
Dear Grace and Alice
As supervisor of the caregivers for your mother it allowed me to see and visit with your mom on a monthly basis. She was truly a lady in every sense of the word. She was always so considerate and had a kind word whenever I saw her. She was a beautiful and thoughtful person, even when her health status declined. It was truly my honor to have known your mother for the last 2 years. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. February 24, 2011
Dear Grace and Alice,
Mr. & Mrs. Egbert T. Garth Jr. spoke frequently and fondly of both your father and mother over the years. Dr. Goldsmith was the physician of their two daughters, Linda and Susan. I met your mother a few years ago when I took Mr. & Mrs. Garth to visit her in Kingsmill. She was so elegant. I felt like we were visiting royalty. I immediately liked her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. February 24, 2011
My heartfelt sympathy to you in
your mother’s passing. She was a
tireless advocate for Hampton
Fire and Rescue’s medic program.
Her drive, dedication and
fund-raising skill supported
Hampton’s ability to provide
advanced life support care
before many other fire
departments nationwide. I
remember her kindness and her
tranquil spirit. Her favorite
words of advice to me were “Stop
and smell the roses” This advice
seemed foreign from someone with
so much drive and determination
but the advice was given with
the wisdom of years of
experience. Words fail to
adequately describe her gracious
spirit. She was truly a lovely
person. Please accept my
condolences for your loss.
~ Tracy Hanger, Acting Fire Chief, Hampton Fire and Rescue February 24, 2011
DEAR GRACE AND ALICE,
I WAS SADDEN TO READ ABOUT YOUR MOTHER PASSING. I HAVE OFTEN THOUGHT ABOUT HER WHEN WE WENT TO WOODROW WILSON. SHE WAS THE ONE WHO FIRST INTRODUCED ME TO CLASSICAL MUSIC. I REMEMBER HOW SHE ALWAYS LOOKED SO REGAL TO A YOUNG GIRL AND YET SHE WAS ALSO SO REAL. SHE HAD SUCH COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING. I KNOW SHE HAS GONE TO A BETTER PLACE. MY PRAYERS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. ~ CAROLYN COALTER HAWKINS February 26, 2011 I February 26, 2011 M February 26, 2011 I February 26, 2011

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?
