God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around you
and He 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 to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

The Taylor Family would like to thank Arbors of Sylvania, especially her "guardian angel", John Spangler; Mercy St. Ann Hospital I.C.U. and Med-Surg Unit and Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Perrysburg for all their loving care and support.
