God saw my dad was getting tired and his soul needed resting- although he knew a cure was not to be - so God put his arms around him and said, "come go with me" with tearful eyes I watched him fade away - although I love him deeply we could not make him stay. My dad was lead to the light where precious lord lead him home, now he's up in heaven singing his song- amazing grace how sweet the sound. Your love is still our guide- although we can not see you- you are always at our side.
My Lord you are the creator. you the Author.you are the finish.Rest Leroy Rest. Your son Anthony Gaines. To we see Each other Again
