Newport News High School Class of 1965

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   

   Here is that sad news we were awaiting to report.        Rosalee Wills Jecmenek, Class of 1965, passed away unexpectedly at her home in Houston, Texas on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at the age of 66. 


    From the Head Flagtwirler of 1965, Janice McCain Rose of Northern VA - 07/31/13, 9:19 AM - "    Rosalee Wills Jecmenek":

Carol,

Alan, Rosalee's husband, called me last night to tell me that Rosalee had died. He came home from work and found her on the bedroom floor. Rosalee and I have been really close friends since we were both 14 years old....I just talked with her 5 days ago....... my heart is breaking for her husband, kids, and grandkids. When I learn more I will let you know.

   Oh, Janice, I can scarcely believe this has happened! I knew y'all had been best friends for many years, but didn't realize it had been quite that long. I am so very sorry for your loss - and for Alan's as well, of course.

Take My Hand, Precious Lord

Words by the Rev. Thomas A. Dorsey
(02 July 1899 - 23 Jan 1993)

Music by George Nelson Allen
(07 Sept 1812 - 09 Dec 1877)


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
