I know the Dr. has suggested that you remain in the Hospital for a time being – I will tell you – hospitalized or no – no one is classier that you –

When I visited on Friday, I came back to tell my co-workers that you were in the hospital in your olive green satin silk pajamas with the laptop hooked up to the internet sending messages, blogging, listening to NPR, etc.

You raise the bar for all of us that wish to be classy, dignified, and just darn wonderful.

Here are the words to JP’s musical selection – it is certainly the music one would choose to dance to.

Peace, oh most beautiful mother whom I adore!

I Know That My Redeemer Lives
–Samuel Medley, 1775

I know that my Redeemer lives;
O the sweet joy this sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead;
he lives, my everlasting Head.

He lives triumphant from the grave;
he lives eternally to save;
he lives exalted, throned above;
he lives to rule his church in love.

He lives to bless me with his love,
and still he pleads for me above;
he lives, my hungry soul to feed;
he lives to help in time of need.

He lives, my kind, wise, constant Friend;
who still will keep me to the end;
he lives, and while he lives I’ll sing,
Jesus, my Prophet, Priest and King.

He lives, all glory to his Name;
he lives, my Savior, still the same;
what joy the blest assurance gives:
I know that my Redeemer lives!
