POEM: A Heart of Gold
God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me". We asked God to RELEASE you from the pain on Earth you found, He answered our prayer and now you are safe and sound. With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away we loved you dearly, we knew you couldn't stay. With a big memorable laugh you passed the test. Now you are with God and finally your soul is at rest.

Freddie,
Sending heartfelt sincere condolences to you and your sons in the loss of your dear wife, Lori. We care and share the sorrow. You and Lori started out long ago,. This day you would see, only God would know. Only time will soothe your pain, but think of the good times, things that were fun and the things you and Lori have done. Think of her smile. Give thanks for the gift Lori left you, your two sons. God picked another beautiful flower for HIS garden when he whispered Lori's name. She heard God's voice. She had to answer, she had no choice. I hope these few words will console you in some way. I pray God will comfort, strengthen and give you and yours peace in the coming days as you begin this adjustment to the void without your loved one. Sharing God's love and family love. ❤
Cousin Barbara Scandrick-Smith
