Ruby Hoffler Memoriam

When God reached down his loving hand And chose to lead you away You left us here without you, It was 6 years ago today. For God saw you suffering and wanted to set you free, He said, 'My Child; you'll suffer no more, if you come with me.' Without hesitation, you said, 'God, I'll go; However, there is something my family should know.' God said, 'My Child, talk to them and tell them what is in your heart, Then I will take your graceful hand, and you and I shall depart.' "I love each of you with everything I am. But now my time on earth is done and I must trust in him. Cry not for me dear family; keep a smile upon your face, Remember, I am in Heaven, a beautiful and loving place. I am not afraid, and I'll be at peace; For my sickness and pain will cease, I'll give you love and all my strength whenver you're in need. I'll not just be your Mother and Nana, for an Angel I will be For when I chose to take God's hand, he chose to set me free." Love, Daughter Patti and Son Brian Grandsons: Joseph, Joshua and Brody
