To Mrs. Fowler's family, So sorry to hear of your loss. Mrs. Fowler worked with Joan, Sylvia, Mary Lou and me in the shipyard clinic in the seventies and that wasn't yesterday. She was a hard worker and even then loved her family, talking about each one special. Cherish those times and may God continue to bless each one of you.

Shall We Gather at the River
Words and Music by Rev. Robert Lowry (1826-1899)
 

 Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?

Chorus

Yes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.

On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.

Chorus

Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.

Chorus

Soon we'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.

Chorus
