Dear Hilda and family:
My deepest sympathy on the passing of Wray. I had the pleasure of seeing him and speaking with him most days while he read the paper and enjoyed a nice quiet morning by the fire at Eagles. He always had a friendly smile or a nice thing to say. He was always surrounded by a wonderful extended family and his good friend Charles Williams. Also, Wray and I shared the same birthday, who knew! My best to you and your family,
March 04, 2010
Sweet Uncle Wray is surely
blessed, and God blessed us by sharing in his journey. A man who often
stayed in the background, he quietly made a powerful statement to us
all. He will be missed.
Love, Karl & Family ~ unsigned

For All the Saints
Lyrics by William W. How
(1823-1897) , 1864
Music (Sine Nomine) by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958), 1906
For all the saints
who from their labors rest,
Who thee by faith
before the world confessed.
Thy name, O Jesus,
be forever blest.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Thou wast their Rock,
their Fortress and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their captain
in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear,
their one true light.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
O may Thy soldiers,
faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints
who nobly fought of old,
And win with them
the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
And when the strife is fierce,
the warfare long,
Steals on the ear
the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again,
and arms are strong.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
From earth's wide bounds,
from ocean's farthest coast,
Thro' gates of pearl
streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost,
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
