To John and Shereese;

God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not meant to be.
So he put his arms around her and whispered,"Come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade away.
Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the BEST.

A loving family member

To Shereese,
We're very sorry for the loss of your mother,but death is the destiny of every man.It's the transformation to everlasting life.
"Where oh death" is your victory?
"Where oh death" is your sting?...
She's home with her FATHER where there will be no more sickness no more hate no more tears.Trust if God had given her the opportunity to return,she wouldn't want to.Continue to have faith in Jesus,he's all we have!!!Love you and miss working with you.Denise Bierria [email protected]
