God saw you getting Tired and a cure was not To be, so he put his arms Around you and whispered “Come with Me”.
With tearful eyes we
Watched you suffer And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay. A precious heart stopped beating, Working hands were laid to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best. Dustin, you had challenges your entire life, but you showed courage and strength. Although at times you were a handful, you were loved more than you will ever know.
