GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
ALTHEA B. BYNNOM October 5, 2016
Four years ago, you left us. God looked around His garden and He found an empty place. He then looked down upon earth, and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s gar- den must be beautiful, He always takes the best.
Your family.
