Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
We have yet more sad news.
Beatrice Meadows Lyerly, mother of Jackie Lyerly Vaughan ('67) of VA
and (I think) mother-in-law of
Pete Vaughan (Hampton High School - '64)
of VA, passed away on Tuesday, August 28, 2007 in Newport News at the age of
88.
When I was a little girl, the Lyerly's were my neighbors in the Stuart Homes apartments from 1954 to 1960. I was always struck by Mrs. Lyerly's calm, gentle demeanor, and the look - almost of wonder - in her beautiful, haunting eyes. I'm quite distressed to learn of her passing.

Am so very sorry to hear of Bea's
passing. She was a good Christian woman and participated in the women's
group at Second Presbyterian Church before and after my being Moderator of
the Women for 4 years. She was a blessing to me and will be missed. Sincerely, Betty W. Richtmeyer |

Abide with Me
Words by Henry F. Lyte, 1847
Music by William H. Monk, 1861
Abide with me; fast falls the
eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.
Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.
I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
