EPITAPH: "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 watched her and saw her fade away
Although we couldn't bear to lose her, we could not bid her to stay
A golden heart stopped beating...hard working hands laid to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best."
