He put his arms around you & whispered "come with me.'' With tearful eyes we watched, saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly we couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the Best." -Author Unknown-
