13 Memoriams In Loving Memory Of Our Parents CLAUDE KELLY 8-3-30 to 8-23-88 y. and HILDA KELLY 12-12-31 to 8-25-88 Two hearts of gold stopped beating, Their shining eyes at rest, God broke our hearts To prove to us, He only takes the best. Many times we needed them, A million times we cried, If love could have saved them, They never would have died. It broke our hearts to lose them. But they did not go alone-For a part of us went with them.

The day God called them home. He saw them getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around them And whispered "Come to For all they went through He saw they needed rest, Gods garden must be beautiful For he only picks the best.
