Heaven Rings With Her Music
by Rebecca Farley
For many years her music rang
and throughout our church her voice sang.
Now she’s playing for our Lord
as His angelic host welcomes her aboard.
No more pain as she plays,
no more waking to troubled days.
In our Lord her soul does rest,
as we all know she’s so blessed.
If you listen hard, you may hear
on a windy day her music clear.
For the heavens ring with its sound
that we once heard here on the ground.
Our sister Betty will be truly missed,
and ourpiano her fingers will no longer kiss.
But on golden keys they dance along
as heaven rings with her music and song.

died March 9, 2019 at Hanover Terrace
following a brief illness.

second son of the late Glenn F. and
Theda (Howard) Pease. _.
He graduated from Orford High
School in 1950 and lived his whole life in
East Orford. Following graduation, he
joined his father Glenn and worked sides
by—side with him at the family dairy farm
until 1971. .
In November 1951, Gerald married
Doris Quackenbush and together they
raised their five children, Harrison
(Harry), Gene, Carol, Janet and Sheryl,
in the old Davistown Schoolhouse in East

In 1971, Gerald left the family farm

was the best “horse” power there was.
Second best was the 1943 International

drive.

sister Irene in 1956; and his brother
Howard in 2017. He is survived by two

FITH AND LIFE
by Dr. Dennis Prutow
Lazarus died. His sisters wept. Four
days later Jesus arrived. “Your brother
will rise again” (John 11:23). Martha
knew the hope of eternal life taught in
Scripture. “Martha said to Him, ‘I know
that he will rise again in the resurrection
on the last day’” (John I 1 :24).
Jesus pointed Martha to the
incarnation and personification of life.
“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection
and the life; he who believes in Me will
live even ifhe dies’” (John 11:25). A
person who enters the state of death,
separation of the body and spirit, will
return from death. The implication is
clear. A time will come when dead
bodies and departed souls will be
reunited. Does this sound far fetched?
To prove His point, Jesus turned to
the tomb of Lazarus and “cried out with
a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth.’ The
man who had died came forth, bound
hand and foot with wrappings, and his
face was wrapped around with a cloth.
Jesus said to them, ‘Unbind him, and let
him go’” (John 11:43-44). Pretty
impressive lesson.
Jesus adds, “Everyone who lives
and believes in Me will never die. Do you
believe this?” (John 5:26). Literally, He
says, “Everyone who lives and believes
in Me will not die forever.” Death gives
way to life. The big question is simple.
“Do you believe this?”
STEPS TO SALVATION
How to receive Christ:
1. Admit your need.
(I am a sinner.)
2. Be willing to turn from your
sins (repent).
3. Believe that Jesus Christ is
the Son of God.
4. Believe that Jesus Christ died
for you on the cross and rose
from the grave.
5. Pray and invite Jesus Christ
to come into your heart and
control your life
through the Holy Spirit
(receive Him as Lord and
Savior). Amen.
Read the‘BibIe to growl
Leanvon the Lord. You are now
God’s new creation.
He will never leave you.
