In Memory of your Husband
God saw he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be.
So HE put his arms around him and whispered "Come with me".
With tearful eyes you watched him suffer and saw him fade away.
Although you loved him dearly, you could not make him stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating,hard working hands at rest.
God broke your heart to prove to you he only takes the best.
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Beaner

Dear Donna & Family.
I just heard about the passing of David from my sister Sharon in Maine and I am sorry that I could not make the service. Dave was one of my best friends growing up and we had many adventures together. I know he is rejoicing in Heaven with his new body that will never grow old or feel the sting of pain. We will see him again some day when we join him with our Saviour. I’ll be praying for you and your family at this time of loss.
