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.

Thanks VAN for being one of the best neighbors that I could have had!! We have had some good times and memories in Prescott and they will forever stay close to my heart!!

"Van" we will all miss you dearly. Kevin, Byrd,and Tangi keep your heads up and remember that your mom was always a trooper. Her battle is over and she is resting.She will no longer be here in the flesh, but she will always live in our hearts. We have great memories to comfort us through the rough times.
