Mother's last words to all her family and friends were:
Dear Friend,
Embrace your day — this day — it is a gift. Take the Lord's hand.
He will help you to unwrap the day and then to celebrate it.
And His grace will be sufficient for any need you have.
Mother fought a courageous battle with cancer and we all found our strength from the following words:
GOD SAW YOU
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be…
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass away,
And though we love you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands were put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
