Having experienced the loss of my Father, I truly understand how you must feel. There is a poem entitled "He only takes the best". I encourage you to read it and so that you too will know the power of its words.

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 tear-filled eyes we watched you
suffer and fade away.
Although we loved you deeply,
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard-working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time.

I'm glad I got to know and love her as I did my own Mom. She had a big heart and and loved everyone that came into her life. I will deeply miss her. She took me into the family as if I was one of her own as well as the rest of the family. God love her and all of you.
