Jo Ann,I found this written on notebook paper behind magnets you had on the refrigerator and thought it was you to the tee.God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so he put his arms around you and said 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 shows God broke our hearts to prove that he only takes the best.I don't know who wrote this out on paper but I believe it was for you.I will LOVE YOU always.Louis
