WILEY -- JANICE FRAZIER WILEY December 1, 1940 - May 24, 2006 God saw that you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be; so He put his arms around you and whispered, 'Come with Me.' With tearful eyes we watched you suffer, and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. This golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands to rest; God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you, we miss you every day. Life doesn't seem the same since you went away. When days are sad and lonely we seem to hear you whisper 'Cheer up and carry on.' Each time we see your pictures you seem to smile and say, 'Don't cry, I'm in God's hands now, We'll meet again someday!' Your loving husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
