Stulce, Tim (Memoriam)
IN LOVING MEMORY OF TIM STULCE Nov 15, 1961 to May 26, 2004 A year ago when
you went away. God saw you were getting tired when a cure was not to be. He
closed his arms around you, and whispered come to me. In tears we saw you
sinking we watched you fade away. Our hearts were almost broken. You fought so
hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully from the pain we
could not wish you back to suffer that again. So keep your arms around him
Lord and give him special care Make up all he suffered and all that seemed
unfair. With Love forever, Mom, Bill, Lori Ann, Randy, Teresa, Tanya, Tabitha,
Grand daughter Jada and Grandma Kelley.
