A golden heart stopped beating
Hard-working hands now rest
God broke our hearts to prove
He only takes the best.
Each time we see your picture.
You seem to smile and say
“Don’t cry, I’m in your hearts,
We’ll meet again some day.”
There will be no service by Alex’s own request. A donation to the Charity of your choice may be made in lieu of flowers.
Mrs. Hoggan would like to thank Dr. Woldnick, the Ambulance Attendants, the Doctor’s and Nurses of St. Joseph’s for all that they could do, and also for the comfort of friends and family.
