A heart of gold stopped beating, two shining eyes at rest, God broke my heart to prove, He only takes the best. God knows you had to leave me, but you did not go alone, for part of me went with you, the day He took you home. To some you are forgotten, to others just part of the past, but to me who loved and lost you, the memory will always last. Will love you always! Sammi
