God Saw You God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be, He put His arms around you And Whispered, " Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched you suffer And saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands were put to rest; God broke our hearts to prove to us. He only Takes the Best.

A CKNOWLEDGMENT Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you prayed a sincere prayer or came to pay a call. Perhaps you sang a cheerful song, if so, we heard it all. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you prepared a tasty dish, or maybe furnished a car. Perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at hand or from afar. Whatever you did to console our hearts, by word or touch. Whatever was the kindly part, we thank you, oh so very much. We want to thank the Casey, Thomas and Hall families, Mable Nash, Shelisa Taylor, Demetrisa Mills, Reanica Johnson, Pastor Franklin Mitchell and all involved in the service and huge thank you to all in attendance. - The Family

When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile, just forget if you can, that I ever frowned and remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache and remember I've had loads of fun. Forget that I've stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell by the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles and won, ere the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day, but in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay. And come in the shade of evening When the sun paints the sky in the west, Stand for a few moments beside me And remember only my best.
