"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 although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best"

Reception and Celebration of life with friends and family will be held at 7201 S St Patrick St, Tampa, FL 33616 from 4:00pm to 8:00pm.
