| God bless the Bartholomew family. I did not know Curtis but Max was a friend at NNHS. While reading the obit I could not help but think about Max. Once again, the acorn didn't fall far from the tree. |

Jesus Savior, Pilot Me
Words by Edward Hopper,
Music by John E. Gould
1871
Jesus Savior, pilot me over
life's tempestous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll, hiding rock and treacherous shoal;
Chart and compass came from Thee; Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey Thy will, when Thou say'st to them "Be still!"
Wondrous Sov'reign of the sea, Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
When at last I near the shore and the fearful breakers roar,
'Twixt me and the peaceful rest; then, while leaning on Thy breast,
May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee."
