We are exhausted… today was Mom’s funeral.   It was beautiful and so many people came to share in the day.   The support from friends and family has been overwhelming!  All of you are so amazing!

I am tired, so I am heading to bed…..I just wanted to share a quick poem a friend of mine wrote in Mom’s guest book.   It summed up the past few weeks perfectly!

He Only Takes the Best

God saw she was getting tired
And a cure was not meant to be,
So He put His arms around her
And whispered, “Come with me.”
With tear filled eyes we watched her
Suffer and fade away.
Although we loved her dearly,
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands laid to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us…
He only takes the best.
