God saw the road was getting rough, the hills were getting harder to climb, he gently closed those loving eyes.
And whispered peace be thine. The weary hours, those sad days, the sleepless nights are passed.
The ever patient, worn-out frame, has found sweet rest at last. May God be with you and your family Mrs. Tucker.
