You laid there in that hospital bed; you tried so hard to hold on. God was calling you home. He needed another angel to help pour out the rain. Tears have fallen, hearts were shattered, but it's time for you to fly home. Your loves ones came to say their last goodbyes, to tell you they loved you, and that you will be forever missed. As your heart beat stopped, and your eyes slowly closed, God took another angel home.
