God looked around his garden and found an empty space.  He then looked down upon this earth, and saw your tired face.  He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest, God’s Garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best.  It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home
