Farrald Goff Belote Jr.

So He put His arms around him and whispered “Come to Me”

With tearful hearts, we watched him fade away….

Although we loved Farrald dearly, we could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, his hands laid to rest,

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
