Jewel - I was taken aback to read of Tony's passing and so suddenly. I am sure that you and the family will miss him tremendously. I wish you all my deepest sympathy and condolences at this time of sorrow. God bless.

God’s Garden
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, 'Peace be Thine'.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
Dear Jewel and family,
So very sorry to read of the passing of your beloved husband, father and grandfather.
Treasure the many happy memories you have shared through the years, hold them close to your hearts always.
Hugs,
Joan and Wayne Hartwick
