The world will have less light without my Aunt Alice in it. She touched my life in so many ways as she did the lives of others. We will all miss her ready smile and zest for life. She was a joy to all who knew her. My love and comfort go out to Bill and the girls and all of the family. She will be missed and we will treasure our memories of our Christmases, times in OBX and Smithfield, and reunions with her forever. Kathy Reece Burke

  Our deepest sympathies are extended to the Reece and Cutchins families and their friends at this difficult time.

  From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 04/09/11, 11:46 PM:

Carol,

Thank you so much for the memorial to my Aunt Alice Cutchins. It means a lot to me. She was a wonderful lady and had a smile that would light up a room when she came in. She will be missed greatly.

I am unable to go to Virginia at this time as I am taking care of my daughter who just had surgery on her foot. She is doing well but has to stay off it and that is hard for an RN used to the fast pace of the ICU and an active single girl's life.

Thanks again for all you do,
Love ya,
Ruthie

   Thank you, Ruthie - it was my privilege.  Once again you have my sincerest condolences on the loss of your aunt.

  Y'all take good care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!

                          Love to all, Carol

Be Thou My Vision

Irish Hymn, c. 8th century

Translated by Mary Elizabeth Byrne (02 July 1880 - 19 Jan 1931), 1905

Versified by Eleanor Henrietta Hull (15 Jan 1860 - 13 Jan 1935), 1912


Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
