<strong>Stevenson</strong>-Mischel-Olson Chapel<br />
Dickinson, North Dakota<br />
A lunch will be served following the funeral mass in<br />
the Life Center. Everyone is welcome.<br />
God saw she was getting tired<br />
And a cure was not to be,<br />
So He put His arms around her<br />
And whispered, “Come with Me.”<br />
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer<br />
And saw her fade away,<br />
Although we loved her dearly<br />
We could not make her stay.<br />
A golden heart stopped beating<br />
Hard working hands to rest,<br />
God broke our hearts to prove to us<br />
He only takes the best.
