.....In the bad news department, which I truly hate to think about, but others might like to know,   Barbara Bostwick died 22 April 12 in NC.  The obituary was in the Daily Press.  I worked with her at the telephone company and knew her personally; she was so sweet and such a hoot.  I remember her as always smiling.....
 

Yours, Sheila Moler

   Thank you, Sheila.  You have my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your friend.

    From Pat Beck Letzinger (’57) of VA - 09/06/12, 12:02 PM - "Class of 57 Memorial List":

Dear Carol,
In looking over the Class Memorial list for the Class of '57, I noticed a name was missing.    Barbara Kemp Bostwick passed away the morning of April 22, 2012.  She lived in Holiday Island, Hertford, NC.
Sorry I don't have any more details.
 
I've been very remiss in keeping you updated regarding the Class of '57.  I will try to do better in the future.

Pat Beck Letzinger

   Thank you so much, Pat. You've been doing fine; I am just still behind.....

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

                          Love to all, Carol

My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less

Lyrics by Edward Mote
(21 Jan 1797 - 13 Nov 1874)

Music ("Solid Rock") by William Batchelder Bradbury, 1863
(06 Oct 1816 - 07 Jan, 1868)


1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.

2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In ev'ry high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

3. His oath, His covenant, His blood
Supports me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in Him be found,
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Chorus:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
