The family would like to express our deepest appreciation and love to the many people who supported us through this very difficult time.
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not meant to be, so he put His arms around you and whispered, "Come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you as you slowly slipped away, and though er loved you dearly we couldn't make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating. Your tired hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
