June 02, 2015 My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. Mr. O'Neal was a true gentleman. He will be missed by many. ~ Brenda Grizzard, Newport News, Virginia
Danny, you taught me the
value of family and the love you showed when you talked about your
wife, your daughters and especially your grandchildren.
~ Robbie McDuffie, Chesapeake, Virginia June 02, 2015
My heart is so sad to
have lost Danny, but I can't even imagine the celebration going on
up in Heaven and the reunion with his mom. I'll bet he is like a
little kid skipping down the streets of gold just taking everything
in and asking a million questions. He was a precious man. I am so
sorry for your loss, Debra. You, your children, and grandchildren
were the loves of his life. I'm so glad I got to see him Thursday at
Anna's retirement...it was like he never left. Blessed be to all of
you.
~ Ellee Temple, Virginia Beach, Virginia Heather, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. ~ Kristin Sgambelluri

your loss.
~ Judy Mahler, Newport News, Virginia
I remember you as a young
single teacher when we were both teaching at Dozier and you started
dating Danny. It was so obvious how much you both loved each other.
Over the years we have run into each other occasionally and it was
always great catching up. I am really sorry to learn of your loss
and I hope years of precious memories will help to comfort you and
your family now.

losing your husband and father so suddenly. My prayers are for
comfort beyond understanding. Draw close to Christ for He is the
ultimate comforter.
~ Kristen Diodato-Moore, Virginia
Our neighborhood will not be the
same without the kind, gentle, caring neighbor that Danny was. Going
out in my yard, I will always miss his friendly smile and caring
manner. May the memories of this fine man comfort you all.
~ Linda Adkins, Newport News, Virginia
All of you have our deepest
sympathy. It is unbelievable that we won't see Danny helping out in
the Social Hall and serving communion to all of us. I have served on
numerous committees throughout the years with Danny, and not only
was he was a wealth of knowledge, but he could always be counted on
to do more than his share of the work. He could be really funny and
he would often share something that was going on in your lives.
Cherish your happy memories. All of you will remain in our thoughts
and prayers during this time. God Bless.
~ Kitty and Terry Heffington, Newport News, Virginia

Words by
Isaac Watts,
The Psalms of David, 1719 (based on
Psalm 90)
(17 July 1674 - 25 Nov 1748)
Music, St. Anne, by
William Croft,
1708
(10 Dec 1678 - 14 Aug 1727)
1. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
2. Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3. Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4. Thy Word commands our flesh to dust,
“Return, ye sons of men”:
All nations rose from earth at first,
And turn to earth again.
5. A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
6. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by the flood,
And lost in foll’wing years.
7. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.
8. Like flow’ry fields the nations stand
Pleased with the morning light;
The flow’rs beneath the mower’s hand
Lie with’ring ere ’tis night.
9. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.
