“God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be; so, he put his arms around you and whispered, “Come with Me”. You didn’t deserve what you went through. With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer and saw you fade away. 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! And when we saw you sleeping so peaceful and free from pain, we could not wish you back to suffer that again.”

We miss you so much, it hurts. We don’t mind suffering, at least it has set you free. Until we meet again gorgeous.
