Edna and Woody were the care givers to Daniel, Nathan and Alison when they were growing up. God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me.” A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
