God saw she was getting tired, and a cure was not to be; so He put His arms around her and whispered, "Come with Me'. With tearful eyes we saw her fade away, and although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating; hard working hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us that He only takes the best. (Author Unknown)
