Saw
God saw the road was getting rough. The Hills were hard to climb. He gently closed those living eyes and whispered, “Come be Mine”. The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless nights are passed. The worn out frame has has found sweet rest at last...We will see your loving face in that Peaceful never-ending tomorrow.
Love the family
