Thank You

Wilina T. Balo
June 1937 - July 2009

God saw she was tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So He puts his arms around her,
And whispered "Come to Me".

With tearful eyes we watched,
And saw her pass away,
Although we loved her dearly,
We could not make her stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
That He only takes the best.

Thank you for your kindness and prayers
during this difficult time.
