God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you and whispered, "Come To Me." With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away, and though we loved your dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hands were put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. We'll miss you, Alma. - Paid Obituary -
