“He Only Takes the Best” He saw that you were getting tired And the cure was not to be, So, He put His arms around you, And whispered, “Come and follow me.” With tearful eyes, we watched you And saw you slip away Although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands now at rest God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Obituary
Two Hearts by Dawn Glenton Two hearts, we were as one on Earth, Two hearts that were entwined, My love for you was ever strong, Now you live inside my mind. Your lovely life just slipped away That life so full of zest! Your twinkling eyes got weary, Your beating heart took rest. I know you’ve gone to Heaven, From Earth slipped away, But faith in you my Dearest Lord Keeps me strong each day. Two hearts once beat together, Now one beats all alone. I know one day we’ll meet Dear Lord, The day you call me home. Your Wife
