God looked around his garden and saw an empty place .he looked down on earth and saw your tired face ...He put his arm around you and lifted you to rest .Gods garden must be beautiful he only takes the best . He knew you were suffering he knew you were in pain .he knew you would never get well on earth again.He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were getting harder to climb..So he closed your weary eyes and whispered.... Peace Be Thine .... It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone ...For a part of all of us went with you when GOD CALLED YOU HOME R.I.P. PFD JIM RICE
