God saw that he was getting tried an a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and 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. God looked around His garden, and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. Mr. West is in a better place.I'm so very sorry for your loss.
