God saw you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put his arms around you
and whispered, Come to Me.
With tearful eyes we watched you
We saw you pass away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not 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.

Gene, you are in my prayers. Know that your mom is the angel on your shoulder, watching out for you, so ya better be good!!!

Gene, life's precious gifts are always taken away to soon it seems. Thankfully, a mom's love and memories can lift the sorrow of one's loss so they can share the peace and happiness mom now enjoys.
