Aunt Lollie, Jim, Kim, Beth, Rhonda and family – I was so very sad and sorry to hear about Uncle Dick’s passing. He was truly an amazing person, always had a smile for everyone. He was deeply loved and will be missed. You all are in my thoughts and prayers as you move through this difficult time. Love you all.
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, As you slowly slipped away, And though we loved you dearly, We couldn’t make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating, Your tired hands put to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
