Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
We have sad news today, if slightly belatedly. Marjorie Wrenn Hoffman, mother of Jane Elizabeth Hoffman ('57) of VA, has passed away in Newport News at the age of 94.
From Fred Mays Howard ('60) of VA - 10/17/07:
I do not know if you are aware or not, but
the mother of Jane Hoffman, class of 1957, passed away on Monday. She
is Marjorie Wrenn Hoffman. She was a member of our church,
Northside Christian. The
funeral home visitation will be tonight, Oct. 17th (Wednesday) at Peninsula
Funeral Home from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and the funeral will be on Thursday, Oct.
18th at 11:00 a.m. at the funeral home. Jane is an only child and will need
our love and support. Jane is not married and has no children, I understand.
Jane was so good to her mother and will miss her so much.
Thank you, Fred. I did see this, and had wondered, but I thought someone would tell me if I needed to know. And someone did.

Jane, You have been a wonderful daughter to your mother. I'm sure that you were a real comfort and blessing to her in her last years. Richard and I hope that you will experience the Lord's blessing now that your mother is at peace in His arms. |

| For 62years Marjorie was part of my life...the mother of my best friend, an "aunt" figure who knew when to scold or compliment. I will remember her always with love and affection. I wish there were words to say to you, Jane, my tongue is stilled ....I love you and am here for you....Nancy T |

The Old Rugged Cross
Words and Music by George Bennard, 1913
(The Old Rugged Cross was
written in Albion, Michigan.
Or Pokagon, Michigan.
Or Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.
All three towns claim to be the birthplace of this hymn.)
On a hill far
away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

NOTE: I felt strongly impressed that I should use this hymn. After
searching for over an hour for an arrangement I liked,
this version came closest in spirit, though I had hoped for an organ sound.
