Heather Lyn Stephens

August 27th, 1949 ~ May 27th, 2006

God saw you getting tired. When a cure was not to be, He closed his arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me". In tears we saw you sinking. We watched you fade away. Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back to suffer so again. So keep your arms around her Lord, and give her special care. Make up for all she suffered and all that seemed unfair. Loving and missing you every second of every day. It hardly seems like a year has passed. We could not have asked for a better Wife, Mother and Grandmother. Love always, Brian, Sam, Kris and Amelia xoxoxo
