God Saw You...
by Unknown
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.
Shelly & family - I am very sorry about your loss, I truly understand...

My sympathies to the Weir family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Ray always had the little smirk in his smile, twinkle in his eyes and the greatest sense of humor. He will be missed dearly.
