God saw that he was getting tired, a cure

was not to be, so he put his arms around him

and whispered "Come with Me". With tearful

eyes, day by day we watched him slowly slip

away. Although we loved him dearly, we could

not make him stay. We saw him suffer in

such pain. But now we know he is pain free,

and in God's hands. We miss him every day,

and though we would love to have him back,

his body was so frail and tired, ready to

leave this world. We know this life is not the

end, and we will someday see you again.

Now rest in peace our beloved man

We love you always and forever.
