Cousins He Only Takes the Best God saw that you were getting tired And a cure was not meant to be So He put his loving arms around you And whispered, “Come to Me” With tearful eyes, we watched you And saw you pass away And although we love you dearly We could not make you stay A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best! We Love You

A CELEBRATION
of Life .
Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words that any friend could say. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, We Thank You! The family would like to extend Special Thanks to Reverend Randolph and Cynthia Glover, Recya Robertson and Bernice Cohens. ~The family of the Late Alfreida Kennedy Johnson~
