God saw you getting tired a cure was not to be – 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 me, but your fight was not in vain – God took you to His loving home and freed you from the pain.
