God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
"Come to Me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love 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
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother, grandmother &'great-grandmother, she was a very special lady and is now at peace with our Lord!

I will miss you Aunt Ollie. I have so many memories of you and my mother. It is nice to know you are now reunited. My prayers go out to the rest of the family who will miss you so much. I will think and pray for you everytime I see your seascape painting that hangs in my livingroom. I wish I could make it to the funeral but I have a bad cold or flu that I am sure my relatives wouldn't want me to share.
