God looked around his garden and saw an empty space. He then looked down upon His earth & saw your tired face. He knew the road was getting rocky & the hills were hard to climb, so He took you by the hand & whispered, "PEACE BE THINE". You know we hate to lose but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home. I love you, Tio. Know I'll see you again, Mandy
