God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be had; so he put his arm around you, and whispered, ?Come to me?. With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away; although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best. Share a memory or leave a condolence www.jaynesfuneralhome.com
