With thoughts of peace and courage for you.~ Charlotte Carter, Williamsburg, Virginia May 02, 2010
Dan was the man.
Dan was always wearing a big smile. Growing up
across the street, I always knew what a good
neighbor was. It was Dan. I can't say enough about
Dan. I will say that he was kind, generous, and
thoughtful. Dan was there for my family when we lost
our parents. He always had good things to say, and
always had that perpetual smile. There will be many,
many people who miss him, and I will be one of
those. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Hood
family, and I am smiling just knowing that Dan and
my dad are probably having a little drink and an
overdue game of golf.
Keep on smiling, Dan! You deserve it! |
Our deepest
condolences are extended to the entire Hood family and their friends at this
time.
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!
Love to all, Carol

Servant of God, Well Done!
Words by
Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
Music by
George J. Elvey (27 Mar 1816 - 9 Dec 1893)
(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)
Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on
the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown
Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!
O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.
Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
