God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so he wrapped you in his loving arms and whispered come with me. You suffered much in silence, your spirit did not bend, You faced pain with courage until the very end. You tried so hard to stay with us but your fight was not in vain. God took him to his loving home and freed him from pain.
