Isabella and the Edwardsburg Golden Agers. Lottie
loved to watch old cowboy movies. She enjoyed traveling, reading, sewing,
crafts, and playing the organ. She especially enjoyed spending time with her
children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. God
saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms
around you and whispered, "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we
watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could
not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at
rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
