WHITTAKER, FRANK CRANE
"Tired: God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His
arms around you, and whispered, 'come with me'. With tearful eyes we
watched you, and saw you pass away, and though we loved you dearly, we
could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, a precious soul at
rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best."
