Also 1 hour prior to service at Epiphany. Memorials to the Reiser Foundation in Coon Rapids. God saw that she was getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around her, and whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched her, and saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
