Statement of

I N L OVING M EMORY O F

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 spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever the part, may God forever bless each of you.

God saw that he was getting tired, A cure was not to be. So He put his arms around him And whispered, “ Come with Me ” With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes “ the best ”
