God saw you getting tired so He wrapped you in

His loving arms and whispered "Come with me".

You suffered much in silence. Your spirit did not bend.

You faced your pain with courage until the very end.

You tried so hard to stay with us. Your fight was not in vain.

God took you in His loving arms and saved you from the pain.
