"God looked around his garden and found an empty space. He then looked down upon this earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. Gods garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best. He knew that you were in pain he knew that you would never get well upon this earth again, he saw the roads getting rough, and the hills harder to climb. So he closed you weary eyes and whispered in you ear, "Peace be thine" It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. We'll meet you in Heaven. We love and miss you.... Mom and Nana"
