He gently closed your weary eyes and took you in His care. God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. Your memory is our keepsake, and with that we'll never part. God saw you were 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 surrender and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the BEST. Peace to you my darling husband. I will miss and love you forever... DICK WAYNE RUSSELL Dick Wayne Russell, 72, passed from this life Tuesday, April 18, 2000, in San Angelo.
