A heart of gold stopped beating Your shining eyes at rest God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best. God knows you had to leave us. But you did not go alone for part of us went with you, the day He took you home. To some you may be forgotten: to others, just a part of the past. But to us who have loved and lost you. Your memory will always last. The Family!
