Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
I
was grieved to learn this Monday of the death of
Glenn Dye, Class of 1960.
He passed away in
Grand Prairie, Texas on
Saturday, June 11, 2016 exactly two weeks before his 74th birthday.
Glenn was one of the most supportive contributors to the
NNHS65 website. Two of his lasting submissions come
immediately to mind. First, it was through his inspiration that the
Birthday Page was begun almost twelve
years ago. The second contribution which is used frequently throughout our
Newsletters came in the form of
this highly appropriate animation he sent me in August of 2009 -
.

From Lisa Dye (South Grand Prairie HS, TX) of TX - 07/11/16:
| It's been one month today
since we lost my dad. There are days I still can't believe he is gone.
Some days I want to call him up and ask if he has heard the latest news
in gospel music, tell him about a new booking we just got, or tell him
about a recent concert we sang. He was our biggest fan! I sure do miss
him.
Thank you, Lisa!

From Joyce Simmons Dye (Grand Prairie HS, TX) of TX":

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on,
Let me stand
I'm tired, I am weak I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
When my way grows drear precious Lord linger near
When my life is almost gone
Hear my cry,
Hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
When the darkness appears and the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet,
Hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on,
Let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
