FROM MY UNCLE OTTO LEONARD THOMPSON

TO GARY RYE FOR WHOM TOMMY WAS A GREAT UNCLE

TO SAMUEL NELSON RYE,MY GRANDSON,FOR WHOM  TOMMY WAS A GREAT,GREAT UNLCE

“AND GOD’S A-GOING TO SAY TO HIM; GABRIEL,

BLOW YOUR SILVER TRUMPHET,

AND WAKE THE LIVING NATIONS,

AND GABRIEL’S GOING TO ASK HIM; LORD,

HOW LOUD MUST I BLOW IT?

THEN GOD”S A-GOING TO SAY TO HIM: GABRIEL,

ONCE MORE BLOW YOUR SILVER TRUMPET.”
