  From Fred Mays ('60) of VA - 10/30/08:

Dear Carol: 
Just in case you are not aware, I see in the Daily Press this morning that the mother of    Harry Veazey, '56,   Steve Veazey, '60 and   Brenda Veazey Keech, '62, passed away on Oct. 28, 2008.  According to the paper, she passed away with complications of Alzheimer's disease.  My father passed away 18 years ago today with the same.   Mrs. Norma Lucille Tilley Veazey was a most attractive lady who worked at Sears in the Credit Department for a long time.  My prayers and sympathy are with this family.  When we finally lose a loved one from this tragic illness, it is like a real release as they actually had gone away years before. 

The family will receive friends from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31 at Peninsula Funeral Home.  A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1 at Peninsula Memorial Park.........

Take care, Fred Mays, '60

   Thanks so much, Fred!

  Y'all take good care of each other!  TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have Buckroe!

                          Love to all, Carol

O Lord of Life, Where'er They Be
- Lyrics by Frederick L. Hosmer, 1888; Music by Melchior Vulpius (circa 1560-1615)

O Lord of life, where’er they be,
Safe in Thine own eternity,
Our dead are living unto Thee:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

All souls are Thine, and here or there
They rest within Thy sheltering care;
One providence alike they share:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thy Word is true, Thy ways are just;
Above the requiem, “Dust to dust,”
Shall rise our psalm of grateful trust:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

O happy they in God who rest,
No more by fear and doubt oppressed,
Living or dying, they are blest:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
