Rhonda & Julie

God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be so he put his arms around him and whispered "Come with Me"

With tearful eyes you watched him suffer and saw him fade away, although you loved him dearly you could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,
he only takes the best.


With Sincere Condolences,
Love Aunt Debbie
