September 18, 2012    So sorry to hear about Fuzzy. I am his first cousin and played together when we were young. I will miss him.   ~ Harry Turner, Oak Island, North Carolina Contact Me   September 18, 2012    I have been a friend to this family for 20+ years. I rented from Louis for years. I became friends with Patti, then later his daughter, Amy. I was with Amy by her dad's side as he was slipping away there at the end of his life. Louis died a Peaceful and Dignified death. One of the last things Louis did was look at his daughter, winked ,and said, "Don't be sad; I'm going to be fine." That was one of the last times he spoke before his death. I am thankful I was there to witness such a brave and moving moment in both their lives. Louis was at Peace with God and his Family. You all remain forever in my thoughts and Prayers.   ~  Donna Schrum, Sherrills Ford, North Carolina Contact Me   September 18, 2012  Patti, Brandi, and Crystal, May God bless and comfort you during time of sorrow.

Whispering Hope

Words and Music by Alice Hawthorne (11 May 1827 - 22 Nov 1902), 1868

"Alice Hawthorne" was really Setimus Winner, one of the most versatile writers of the mid-19th century.
Winner went from the bird calls of "Listen to the Mocking Bird" to the doggerel nonsense
of "Oh, Where, Oh, Where Has My Little Dog Gone?" to the gentle and optimistic "Whispering Hope."

Soft as the voice of an angel
Breathing a lesson unheard;
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers her comforting word.

Wait till the darkness is over,
Wait till the tempest is done;
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow,
After the shower is gone.

Whispering Hope,
Oh, how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart
in its sorrow rejoice.

"Whispering Hope" midi (Sequenced by Grandpa Schober) and lyrics
