In Loving Memory
Barbara Jean Ross
6/11/1946 - 7/25/2011
God saw you were
getting tired
And it was not meant to be,
So he put his arms
around you
And whispered,
“come to me.”
With tearful eyes
we watched you
And saw you pass 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.
