IN MEM0RIAM WILLIAM S. BURKHART 92825- 111396 God looked at His garden and found an empty space. Then looking down upon the earth, He saw your tired face. Putting His arms around you, He lifted you to rest. God's garden might be beautiful; He only takes the best.

He knew you were suffering and in pain. He knew you would never get well on earth again. So He closed your weary eyes and whispered, "Be at peace." It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you the day God took you home. You'll be in our hearts forever.
