Ruth, Donnie, and family,
So very sorry to hear of JT's passing. He was a great friend to both my dad and uncle (Freddie and Junior) for many years - both during their fire department days and in retirement. In fact, I bet him and my dad are already reminiscing about the good old days in the NNFD! You're in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. April 13, 2010
Our thoughts and prayers are with you
in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
Dawn, WRCRC ~ Dawn Slaughter, Gloucester,

Words by
John Newton,
1779
(24 July 1725 – 21 Dec 1807)
Amazing grace! (how sweet
the sound)
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below,
Will be forever mine.
