God watched you as you suffered and knew you had your share. He gently closed your weary eyes and took you in his care. God has you in his keeping and we have you in our hearts. Your memory is our keepsake and with that we will never part. God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered come with me. " With tearful eyes we watched you surrender and saw you fade away. " Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. Your loving daughers and son
