TYPO: God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "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, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Your memories will always be with us and so shall she be a part of our lives. My heart will soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. In loving memory of a wonderful person that will always live in my heart. I will love you and miss you always grandma. Love your oldest grandchild Nikol
