God Saw You Getting Tired
God saw you 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 And saw you pass away,
And although we love you dearly We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest,
od broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Now it's time to say "good-bye" Yes, everybody's sad and gonna cry; But just think, she's in a better place Where nobody's sick and there's no pale face.
The streets are made of gold At least that's what I'm told. Nothing there ever goes wrong
And everybody gets along Right now everybody's in sorrow
But it'll all be over tomorrow. -Love Always, Your Family-
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We, the Family of Mrs. Ruth R. Gregory wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all of you for your acts of kindness and gracious deeds of consolation and sympathy during our time of sorrow. Each has been engraved upon our hearts and
shall be remembered. May God bless each of you.
