Not sure what to say?

God saw he was getting tired,a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him, and whispered "come

with me." With tearful hearts we watched 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.

You are in our hearts and prayers

each and every day.
