| Carl Rossman, widower of my sister
Joyce
Tedder Rossman ('68),
died this afternoon.
Carl and Joyce were both told that they had cancer within 2-days of each other last February or March, 2015. Joyce passed away May 7, 2015. Their son, Matthew, called me about 5:30 p.m. and let me know Carl had passed away. I do not know any memorial details but am hoping that I will be able to make the trip up to PA. Never know how I will feel from day to day or what my blood level will be. Please keep my sister's family -- son, daughter-in-law and daughter and granddaughter, along with me and my family in your prayers! |
Oh, Elizabeth, I'm so very sorry to
hear
this.
We will certainly keep all of
y'all in our prayers!

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.
