God saw you getting tired. When the end was near to be, He closed his arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me." In tears we saw you sinking. We watched you fade away. Our hearts are oh so broken; you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully, free from pain; we could not wish you back to suffer so again. So keep your arms around her Lord, and give her special care. Make up for all she suffered and all that seemed
unfair.
