| Esther McKenna was working for Dr. J. Will Tankard - Newport News when I had knee surgery years ago. She was a wonderful Nurse and it was a pleasure to visit the office at various times. May the Lord bless her and all the family members. |

From
Linda McKenna Sivilich
('66) of PA - 06/15/07 - but
inexplicably delayed reaching me until 06/19/07:
Dear Carol,
Thank you for your tribute to my step-mother Esther Simpson McKenna.
The newspaper article listed my city incorrectly.
I live in Aston, PA......
Sincerely,
Linda McKenna Sivilich class of '66
Thanks for letting me know, Linda. I was surprised to read in that newspaper account that you had moved to Glen Burnie, MD, because I thought you were in Aston, PA, but I printed it as they listed it.
I changed it now - and altered the news clipping itself in the process. Again, you have my sincerest condolences.
Y'all take extra good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER!
Love to all, Carol

Come, Ye Disconsolate
Words by Thomas Moore; alt. by
Thomas Hastings
Music by Samuel Webbe
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish.
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure."
Here see the bread of life; waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above.
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.
