Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This is the Memorial Edition that we've been expecting, but that still doesn't
dull the pain. Beloved Newport News High School English teacher
Martha Jo Milne passed away at her home in Brasstown, North Carolina
on Friday, July 30, 2010 at the age of 96. She was the
mother of Bill Milne (Ahoskie HS, NC - '58) of NC,
Mary Ann Milne O'Connor ('60) of NC,
Charles Milne ('64) of NC, and
Eleanor Milne Kenitzer ('66) of CA, and the mother-in-law of
Phyllis Moore Milne ('60) of NC. Her late husband,
William P. Milne, II,
was the pastor of
Orcutt Avenue
Baptist Church from 1958 to 1967.

Mrs. Martha Jo Milne":
Hi
Carol......as you have previously posted, Mrs. Martha Jo
Milne recently passed away and her memorial service was
held in North Carolina. She was the mother of Billy
(who graduated from Ahoskie High School in 1958,
just before the Milnes moved to Newport News),
![]() ![]() ![]() There will
be a graveside service for Mrs. Milne in Newport News on
Wednesday, October 6th at Peninsula Memorial Park,
Garden of Devotion. Her ashes will be buried beside her
husband, Rev. William P. Milne. He was the most devoted
pastor of
Orcutt Avenue
Baptist Church from
1958 - 1966. The Milne family made an impact in this
area and we dearly loved Rev. and Mrs. Milne. He
married I thought if anyone wishes to attend this graveside service, the children would love to see you and it would be a tribute to Mrs. Milne to be there. Take care, Miss Carol.....you are the best.

I just thought you may wish to hear
Charles seems so happy with his wife,
Monica.....who has been just what he needed, it seems. Eleanor is
certainly a sweetheart, as she always was.
Thank you so much for sending me this

I think there is no way I can attach it to the Newsletter; however, I'd be glad to forward this to anyone who would like it. |

Just As I Am
Words by Charlotte Elliott, 1835
Music by William B. Bradbury, 1849
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
