In loving memory of Gary Reeder, whose 67th birthday is January 8th.

You birthday is sad since we are apart,

But to us this day you will always have a special place in our hearts.

Gone is the face we loved so dear,

Silent is the voice we loved to hear.

God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be,

So he put his arms around you and whispered “come to me.”

With tearful eyes we watched and saw you pass away.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.
