I am sad, but I will always remember the great memories that I have of my gradma. There is one thing that makes me happy though: now Grandma will get to see her life-long sweetheart Charles again, her husband and my grandpa. Welcome home, grandma. I hope to see you again someday, where we’ll all live together forever, with Christ.
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."
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,He only takes the best.
The boys and I will miss you greatly. We love you.
