"God saw he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be; so He put His arms around him and whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and saw him fade away; although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."
