He Only Takes The Best:
God saw Wayne was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So God put his arms around him and whispered,"Come with me."
With tear filled eyes you watched him suffer and fade away. Although we loved him deeply, we could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this great time of sorrow.
