November 19, 2011     Dear Linda and the Hancock Family, I don't know if you remember me from high school, but Bev Bendos Wills sent me the information about your husband's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss, but please know you will be in my prayers. I have thought about you intermittently over the years and wondered how you were doing. Please know that my thoughts are with you and I know that you will be able to endure this as you have apparently seen your husband suffer, just from reading the obituary. Take care of yourself and know that he is in a much better place and no longer in pain. I firmly believe that our loved ones who pass on before us are always watching over us. Having lost twin sons myself, I do know this to be true. I can feel them near me as well as my grandparents. Just take it slow and easy and you will adjust as time progresses. No, the hurt will never leave, nor will the love, and you will see him again. Sincerely, Linda Thompson Coltes   ~ Linda Coltes, Deep Run, North Carolina Contact Me     November 20, 2011 Wade was one of my best friends, I will miss him. We were friends since school days and had great adventures together. I have many good memories that I will carry in my heart as I say goodbye to Capt'n Wade. ~ Rodney Llewellyn, Yorktown, Virginia     November 20, 2011   Dear Debbie and the Hancock Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Love you, Jack and Char ~ Char Stump, Yorktown, Virginia     November 20, 2011   Debbie, I was very sorry to learn of your dad's passing. It is difficult when our parents die because of the way we were raised and it leaves such a void in your heart seemingly forever. Your dad is no longer in pain and is with those who passed before him; always remember the good times. My prayers are with you and your family. ~ Edna (Black) Whittemore, Hampton, Virginia wladyboss@cox.net  Contact Me     November 20, 2011     Dear Linda and the Hancock Family, I am very sorry for you loss and my thoughts are with you. My name is Theresa Mudd and I worked with Wade for 3 1/2 years at Sentara Fitness Center. Wade was a memorable man to work with; I would open the facility and he would come in around 7 always saying hello. I got used to his always being around. We would fold towels together; he was always quiet, but he could be funny. Wade has left a lasting impression with me and I am saddened to hear of his loss. May God bless you all and give you strength during this time.   ~ Theresa Mudd, Hampton, Virginia     November 20, 2011   We very saddened to hear about Wade's passing. He was someone that really lived to the fullest. I will always cherish the memories of the times we gathered as a family, and the strength, support and humor he shared with us. While I know that words are only a small gesture of support, I want you to know that his spirit has touched many people's lives as it has mine. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. ~ Mary and Page Begor, Gloucester, Virginia Contact Me     November 20, 2011   Dear Linda and Family, I am so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. I know your hearts are aching but remember all the wonderful memories you are blessed with.

Servant of God, Well Done!

Words by Charles Wesley (28 Dec 1707 - 29 Mar 1788)
Music by George J. Elvey (27 Mar 1816 - 9 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?
