"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,/and saw you pass away,/and though we loved you dearly,/we could not make you stay./A golden heart stopped beating,/a precious soul at rest./God broke our hearts to prove to us/He only takes the best." H.C. Alexander Funeral Home, Norco, is in charge of arrangements. Published in The Advocate on 10/7/2005.
