Dear

I am extremely
saddened to bring you the details of more sad news
this Friday night.

in Isle of Palms, South Carolina on Wednesday, July 06, 2011 at the age of 69.
Gene is the sister of
Pauline Collins

Karen -
It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that my beloved cousin, Gene Collins Glave, passed away this afternoon. This is a sad, sad day for all who knew and loved her. |

Karen and Classmates, I just found this video of Gene undergoing chemo and talking about how she is handling it. It was recorded Oct 8, 2010 and brought tears to my eyes and my wife's too. http://www.postandcourier.com/videos/2010/oct/08/1371/?print Al Simms |
Thank you so much for relaying
this sad news, Al. Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your
friend.
Some people are just more alive than others. Gene was that way. I only
met her one time - at the 45-Year Reunion for your Class in
2005 - but that
much was very evident even then. This is an image she sent me of that night. |

Gene Glave succumbs to cancerPosted by Erica Jackson Curran on Wed, Jul 6, 2011 at 5:20 PM
Gene Glave passed away Thursday after
a long battle with breast cancer. Having worked as a registered
nurse and the manager of pediatric services for Roper St. Francis
Healthcare, Glave was familiar with the disease and approached her
treatment with a brave attitude when she was diagnosed in 2006. She
blogged about her
battle and eventually used her experiences to create a popular,
humorous play called The Mammologues. Glave wrapped up her
first run of chemotherapy later that year, but the cancer returned
in May 2010.
Glave left a message to friends and family, which was posted on Facebook this afternoon:
We'll update soon with information on local services. |

For All the Saints
- Lyrics by William W. How
(1823-1897), 1864
Music (Sine Nomine) by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958), 1906
For all the saints
who from their labors rest,
Who thee by faith
before the world confessed.
Thy name, O Jesus,
be forever blest.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Thou wast their Rock,
their Fortress and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their captain
in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear,
their one true light.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
O may Thy soldiers,
faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints
who nobly fought of old,
And win with them
the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
And when the strife is fierce,
the warfare long,
Steals on the ear
the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again,
and arms are strong.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
From earth's wide bounds,
from ocean's farthest coast,
Thro' gates of pearl
streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost,
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
