With tearful eyes we watched him suffer And saw him fade away, Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. WE LOVE YOU In care of arrangements: EDWARD J. COUTU LTD.
