When God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be He put his arms around you And whispered come with me He didn't like what you went through And he gave you rest His garden must be beautiful He only takes the best And when we saw you sleeping So peaceful and free from pain we wouldn't wish you back To suffer that again Today we say goodbye And as you take your final rest That garden must be beautiful Because you are one of the best After her valiant fight with Breast Cancer in 2011, Lisa's Battle resumed in April of 2016.
