All are welcome to sign the online guestbook.
God saw he was getting tired
and the cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around him
and whispered, "Come with Me."
With tearful hearts
we watched him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
we could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hardworking hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
