Ogden High School

Nedra Williams Thiel - 7/20/2011

Class of 1941

May 17, 1923 ~ July 20, 2011

Mom, you’re the greatest!

God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around a you and whispered ‘Come with Me.’ He knew you were suffering that the days were getting hard. So He gently closed your eyelids and whispered ‘Peace be thine.’ In tears, we watched you sinking, we watched you fade away. Our hearts were nearly broken; you fought so hard to stay. It broke our hearts to see you go, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. He broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
