The Day God Called You Home
God looked around His garden andfound an empty space. Then, He looked down upon the earth and saw your tiredface.
He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest; God's garden must be beautifulfo r He only takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew that you were in pain He knew you never would get well upon this earth again. He saw the roads were getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, He closedyour weary eyes and whispered, "PEACE BE THINE". It broke our hearts to lose you, butyou did not go alone; For part o f us went with you the day God calledyou home.
**********
The family o f the beloved, acknowledges with grateful appreciation and thanks for your many messages o f sympathy and acts o f kindness exemplified during their bereavement. Your kind consideration and thoughtfulness have helped them to endure their loss. May God bless each o f you in a very special way.
