Mom lived her life for her family and will be missed everyday of our lives. Thank you for a lifetime of beautiful memories. You will remain in our hearts forever. God saw that she was getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around her and whispered, “Come with me.” With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and fade away. Although we couldn’t bear to lose her, we could not bid her to stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hands laid to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
