A word of encouragement
God saw that she was getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around her and
whispered, “Come with me.”
With tearful eyes we watched her
suffer and saw her fade away
Although we loved her dearly,
we could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands were laid to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST.
Patty and Donna and Timothy we are sorry for
your lost. Your mom will be missed buy us all,
we love you all and we will be there for you
