"God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around her and whispered, "Come with me." With tear-filled eyes we watched her suffer and fade away. Although we loved her deeply, we could not make her 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."
