God saw that you were getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and said "come with me'. With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and slowly 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.
I remember your Mom with nothing but a smile. She came to my salon for years and even after Linda left she still came to visit ( on her walks) and to buy Kenra. Awesome Lady, you can be very proud of. May she rest in peace!
