God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him and said "come with me." With tearful eyes you watched him suffer and saw him slowly fade away. Although you loved him dearly, you could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest. God broke your hearts to prove to you he only takes the best.
We love you all dearly,
