Carol..... Sorry about being late sending this information out but my computer at home had a virus and I'm just getting back to work this week and finally able to sit down and send this. My wife Cindy just passed away Monday, March 16th. She had battled ovarian cancer for four years and died Monday A.M. at our home. She has been a wonderful wife of 40 years, mother of our 3 children and grandmother of 5. She will be greatly missed by all but especially by me since she was not only my wife but also my best friend. She is now not suffering any more buy is home with her Lord and Savior.

I do read your Newsletters on occasions and appreciate all the work you do putting it together.

Oh, Bunny, I'm so very shocked and saddened to read this sad news! I enjoyed corresponding with Cindy occasionally over the years. She was such a beautiful and vibrant woman; I had no idea she was ill.

Please accept my sincerest sympathies on your loss. I pray your faith and memories will bring you comfort and solace.

Lead Me Gently Home

Words and Music by Will L. Thompson, 1879
(7 Nov 1847 - 20 Sept 1909)

Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home;
When life’s toils are ended,
And parting days have come,
Sin no more shall tempt me,
Ne’er from Thee I’ll roam,
If Thou’ll only lead me, Father,
Lead me gently home.

* Refrain:
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home, Father,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home.

Lead me gently home, Father,
Lead me gently home;
In life’s darkest hours, Father,
When life’s troubles come,
Keep my feet from wand’ring,
Lest from Thee I roam,
Lest I fall upon the wayside,
Lead me gently home.
