God saw your were getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around and whispered “Come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. We love you and miss you so very much. Your loving family.
