God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be. He Closed His arms around you and whispered “Come to Me.” In tears we saw you sinking as we watched you fade away; Our hearts were almost broken as you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful, without pain, we would not wish you back to suffer that again. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you The Day God Called You Home. There will be a private family service at a later date. Thornburg-Grau Funeral Home and Cremation Service, McGregor, Iowa.
