“God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered ‘come to me.’ With tearful eyes we watched you slowly fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating and hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove us he only takes the best.”
