Inscription
In Loving Memory Of Our Son, Brother, Father And Uncle
"The Mighty Yokozuna"
God saw that he was suffering
And easing the pain was not meant to be
So He opened His arms and whispered, "My Child, come with me."
A tired heart stopped beating
Hardworking hands put to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us... He only takes the Best!
