"You were always there when we needed you" No task too great or small With a loving heart and a willing hand For us you did them all. Thanks for the years you gave us, And for the precious times we shared, We only pray when you left us You knew how much we cared. God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He put His arms around you And said, "Come unto Me." Forever In Our Memories CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL in care of arrangements - 586-8044.
