In loving memory of
William Donald
(Don) Mix
27,1941 - Aug. 29,2009
God saw he was getting tired.
And a cure was not to be.
So lie put His arms around him,
And whispered, “Come with Me.”
With tearful eyes we watch hi
And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
we could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped heating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
We will always miss you.
Love, Your Family
