In Loving Memory Of My Husband, Nathaniel Stirgus

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not meant to be.

So, he put his arms around your shoulder and whispered, “come to me”. A golden heart stopped beating hard, working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.

We celebrate his life. May he rest in peace.

Love Always,

Rose
