As it shall be for all born of man and woman, my friend
Louis Turner, has passed to the other world. His
road has been traveled. He was a kind and generous man, though
not a saint by any means. He touched many lives in very positive
ways. Now, family and friends shall mourn and miss him. I am
thankful for 51 great years of his friendship. RIP Lou, you had
a good run. September 13, 1945 to September 15, 2012.
Signed, Jerry Gammon
Thank you Carol,
Susie Overton Jones

you so much for letting me know; you have my deepest condolences of the
loss of your dear friend.

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
