| Joyce, one of my first cousins, was one of my favorites...a real sweetheart. Growing up and being together as family was always fun. Our career has not allowed much contact in our adult years but Joyce has always been very, very special to me. I will miss her greatly. |

| I so was saddened to hear about the loss of Mrs. Hudson. There are so many fun memories I have growing up on Alleghany Rd. and remember what a kind person Mrs. Hudson was. I know this is a difficult time for you, but there is a part of her that lives in each one of you. God bless you all, and remember what an inspiration Mrs. Hudson was to those around her. |

It has been my joy to know this
wonderful lady for more than thirty years. Every member of the family has a
special place in my heart. I especially remember her ministry with the youth
of Ivy Memorial Baptist Church and I have fond memories of performing
weddings for each of the beautiful daughters. The family provided our family
lunch our first Sunday in Hampton. During recent years my wife and I have
prayed often for Jack as well as Joyce.. Jack, I love you and will continue to pray for you in these coming days. I regret being unable to be at the funeral. I will look forward to seeing her in heaven and hope to see the rest of you in the future. You are dear to us. Pastor Fant and Ramona |

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.
