CARD OF THANKS
The family of Jean Mabry, thanks all the friends and neighbors for the prayers, cards and support during her illness and death.
God saw she was getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around her,
And whispered “Come with Me.”
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer, And saw her fade away.
Although we loved her dearly,
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands laid to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best!
FOREVER REMAINING
