She has gone to heaven and is now free from her pain and suffering. Her unconditional love will endure forever in our hearts. Mom, we love you and will miss you terribly.
When God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
He put his loving arms around you
And whispered come to me
He didn’t like what you went through
And he granted you eternal rest
His garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
And when we saw you sleeping
So peaceful and free from pain
We wouldn’t wish you back
To suffer that again
So today we say goodbye As you take your eternal rest
That garden must be beautiful
Because you are the best
