So he put his arms around you, and whispered come go 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. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove, he only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day. Life doesn't seem the same, since you have gone away. When days are sad and lonely, we seem to hear you whisper...cheer up and carry on. Each time we see your picture, you seem to smile and say, Don't cry, I'm in God's Hands, we'll meet again someday!" Siempre con carino amor y en union de la Santa Oracion.
