~ JULIE KING, NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA January 19, 2018
I am so very sorry to
learn of Bill's passing. I worked at the DCMA office in Richmond in
contracting and Bill was the quality assurance representative at
many of the contractors I handled in the Hampton area. We spent a
lot of time together visiting plant facilities. Bill was always fun
to be with and he readily shared his abundant knowledge. We shared
lots of laughter and good times!! I'm so sorry you've lost both your
mother and father. May God bring you comfort and peace through this
difficult time.

The Strife Is O'er, the Battle Done
Text: Anonymous Latin; translated by Francis Pott (1832-1909)
Music: Giovanni P. da Palestrina; arranged by W.H. Monk (1823-1889)
Tune: VICTORY, Meter: 888 with Alleluias
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The strife is o'er, the battle done,
the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The powers of death have done their worst,
but Christ their legions hath dispersed:
let shout of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
The three sad days are quickly sped,
he rises glorious from the dead:
all glory to our risen Head!
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
He closed the yawning gates of hell,
the bars from heaven's high portals fell;
let hymns of praise his triumphs tell!
Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Lord! by the stripes which wounded thee,
from death's dread sting thy servants free,
that we may live and sing to thee.
Alleluia!
