closed His arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me." In tears we saw
you sinking, we watched you fade away. Our hearts were almost broken, you
fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from
pain, we would not wish you back to suffer that again. So treasure her, Lord,
in Your garden of rest, for here on earth she was one of the best."
