Our family would like to leave you with this poem that holds meaning for us:

GOD Took Him to His Loving Home
GOD saw him getting tired, and a cure was not to be.
GOD wrapped his loving arms around him and whispered, “come with me.”
He suffered much in silence, his spirit did not bend.
He faced the pain with courage, until the very end.
He tried so hard to stay with us, but his fight was not in vain.
GOD took him to his loving home and freed him from his pain.
