God saw that you were getting tired And a cure was not to be,-
So He put His arms around you and whispered,
"Come Home With Me". With tearful eyes we watched you suffer,
And saw you fade away. Even though we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay. A warm heart stopped beating/
A determined spirit is at rest. Although our hearts are broken, we know
God only takes the "Best"! - Author Unknown
The family of the late Mrs. Anna Pounds expresses a heartfelt thanks for all acts of kindness and support during the passing of our loved one.
