Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Incredible as it seems (at least to me), there is further sad news to report today. |
From Jimmy Dick ('65) of FL - 05/20/06
- "Charles H. (Chuck) Richardson, Jr.":
I thought you might want to know that Chuck Richardson, my ex-wife
Karen's (Richardson - '66 - of VA) brother, died last night after a
long fight with cancer. Chuck graduated from NNHS in '69. I learned of his
death from my daughter and wanted to pass it along. He lived in Virginia
Beach with his wife Carol and family. Chuck was a rabid Typhoon and
Richmond Spiders fan. My thoughts and prayers go to Karen and her family.
I think there will be a funeral early next week but I have no details.
Jimmy, I am so very sorry to learn this news.
Thanks so much for letting us know. Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest
sympathies are extended to Chuck's family and friends at this difficult time.

I was saddened to learn of Chuck's death but I know he suffered a lot. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. |

It was a great treasure to
reconnect with Chuck and share in his joy of life. Our thoughts and prayers
are with the family, especially Carol & Charlie. The sun shines a little
less brightly now that Chuck is gone. Sue & Randall |

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning
Lyrics by
Bishop Reginald Heber (1783-1826), 1811
Heber originally wrote this hymn for the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6.
It was first published
in the Christian Observer in 1811, but did not appear in
hymnals until after Heber's death.
Music: "Morning Star," James Proctor Harding, 1892
1. Brightest and best of the
sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2. Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining;
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall.
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all.
3. Shall we not yield Him, In costly devotion,
Odors of Edom and offerings divine,
Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine?
4. Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure.
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5. Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
