God saw she was getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around her, and said "Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched as she faded away, we loved her so dearly, we knew she couldn't stay. Her golden heart stopped beating, her love for us at rest; God broke our hearts to show us. He only takes the best. He only takes the best. We were blessed to have her in our lives. She will be sadly missed by all, but especially her daughter Tootie who devoted her life to taking care of her beautiful mother during her battle with cancer.
