April 22, 2011, 6:20 AM We will truly miss seeing Mr. Wilson at our office. Our entire staff wishes to extend our condolences as he was always one of the most kind and pleasant people despite his disability. We will keep you in our prayers. Sincerely, Dr. Rob Lenfestey
I and my fellow
Mon/Wed/Fri patients of the Fuquay Kidney Center will truly miss
Mark. He would always thrill us with his army stories and tell us
where the best restaurants were. He certainly livened up the waiting
room. There are no need for dialysis machines in heaven.
~ Xavier C. Keyes
Dear Wilson Family,
Please accept my sympathy for the passing of my old classmate,
Mark. We shared not only the same last name, but I also have
been a kidney patient on dialysis. My prayers and thoughts are
with you all.

The Strife Is O'er, the Battle Done
Text: Anonymous Latin; trans;ated by Francis Pott (1832-1909)
Music: Giovanni P. da Palestrina; arranged by W.H. Monk (1823-1889)
Tune: VICTORY, Meter: 888 with Alleluias
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The strife is o'er, the battle done,
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The powers of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath dispersed:
let shout of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The three sad days are quickly sped,
he rises glorious from the dead:
all glory to our risen Head!
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
He closed the yawning gates of hell,
the bars from heaven's high portals fell;
let hymns of praise his triumphs tell!
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Lord! by the stripes which wounded thee,
from death's dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live and sing to thee.
Alleluia!
