Dear Steve
and the Veazey family...please accept my deepest and most sincere sorrow for
the loss of this great man. I remember the baseball/softball memories of so
many years ago and always looked forward to seeing Harry and talking sports
and the old gang. He will be missed by all. His memory and friendly spirit
will remain with us forever. Be well, my friend(s). Best Always, Henry

Dear Joyce,
David, Steve and Brenda and grandchildren, We want to let you know how
sorry we are to hear of Harry's passing. He was a wonderful person who
never said a bad word about anyone. We remember him helping us paint the
Boys Club on Hilton Boulevard on Jefferson Avenue. He did the picture of
a man and boy on the wall. It was so impressive. I want to thank Harry
for our friendship through the years. With all our love, Mickey and
Carol Marcella May 18, 2013

For All the Saints
- Lyrics by
William W. How (1823-1897) , 1864
Music (Sine Nomine) by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958), 1906
For all the saints
who from their labors rest,
Who thee by faith
before the world confessed.
Thy name, O Jesus,
be forever blest.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Thou wast their Rock,
their Fortress and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their captain
in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear,
their one true light.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
O may Thy soldiers,
faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints
who nobly fought of old,
And win with them
the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
And when the strife is fierce,
the warfare long,
Steals on the ear
the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again,
and arms are strong.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
From earth's wide bounds,
from ocean's farthest coast,
Thro' gates of pearl
streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost,
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
