"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. Although we love you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating; hard working hands are at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us that He only takes the best. "

I Am With You Always

. . :,:

To those I love and those who love me, When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You mustnt tie yourself to me with tears Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess How much you gave me in happiness
I thank you for the love you each have shown
But now its time I travel on alone. So grieve a while for me if you must
Than let your grief be comforted by trust.

Its only for a while that we must part So bless the memories within your heart
I wont be far away, for life goes on So if you need me, call and I will come Though you cant see me or touch me, Ill be near And if you listen with your heart youll hear All my love around you so soft and clear And then, when you must come this way alone Ill greet you with a smile and say, "Welcome Home"
"Love Mamie"

MOM
IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU BUT, YOU DID NOT GO ALONE, A PART OF US WENT WITH YOU
THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME.
GOD SAW YOU GETTING WEARY AND DID WHAT HE THOUGHT BEST
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND WHISPERED COME AND REST.
YOUR SONS, BRUCE AND RODNEY
