Dearest Mother and Aunt
God saw that you were 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 vastly slip away; Although, we could not make you stay.
A loving heart stops beating, caring and hardworking hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove that he only takes the best of the best.
Rest in Paradise, Your Son and Niece : Lamar & Sha~
