Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
I was
quite shocked and dismayed to read of the illness and death of
Tim Parsons, NNHS / Menchville HS Class of 1973, who passed away in
Franklin on Sunday, October 29, 2017 at the age of 62.
Brother of
Dale Parsons
('69) of HI, Douglas Parsons of VA, Brian Parsons of VA, Susan Parsons Kitchen
of VA, Patricia Parsons Bryant of VA, Judy Parsons of VA,
and Mary Parsons of NC,
his parents,
the
late Dale Parsons, Sr.
('48)
and
the late
Belle Farmer Parsons
('49),
were also NNHS graduates.
From
Real Country 101.7 - 10/30/17, 6:08 AM:| It is with heavy hearts
that we let you know our friend and colleague, Tim Parsons, passed away
yesterday afternoon surrounded by the love and support of his family.
For the better part of 35 years, Tim’s warm and professional voice has
been heard on Real Country 101.7 in a number of capacities - from
commercial voice-overs, award-winning high school sports play-by-play,
and more recently as the voice of our morning local news. His full time occupation found Tim behind the service counter at area automobile dealerships and over the past 10 years, behind the counter of his own business, Franklin Automotive, in downtown Franklin. Tim was the most caring, charismatic and optimistic person you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. We miss you and love you, Tim! Rest in peace, good friend. |

May God give you his Love and Comfort during this time of sorrow. Hurt
and pain are guaranteed in this world. Jesus tells us that we will have
trouble BUT that we can take heart because He has overcome the world!
(John 16:33) Through scripture we can be comforted by knowing that
God is faithful, and is always looking over us. He truly cares, and is
our protector and comforter in times of need. Whatever the circumstance
may be, we can use these comforting Bible verses to find a peace that
passes understanding. James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the
Lord, and he will lift you up.

of a Kind. My Love to All of You.

Servant of God, Well Done!
Words by
Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
Music by
George J. Elvey (27 Mar 1816 - 09 Dec 1893)
(The Methodist Hymnal, 1966, #288)
Wesley wrote this hymn in 1770 on
the occasion of the death of clergyman George White.
Elvey's tune, "Diademata", has been set to several other hymns, notably "Crown
Him with Many Thorns" and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise".
Servant of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare’s past;
The battle’s fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
With saints enthroned on high,
Thou dost thy Lord proclaim,
And still to God salvation cry,
Salvation to the Lamb!
O happy, happy soul!
In ecstasies of praise,
Long as eternal ages roll,
Thou seest Thy Savior’s face.
Redeemed from earth and pain,
Ah! when shall we ascend,
And all in Jesus’ presence reign
With our translated friend?
