Wendy,Kelly,John and Evelyn,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. She was someone from my past I looked fondly on. Our families had alot of good times... the trips to Mendon Ponds,the sleep overs on Clinton Ave... remember all the good times..?
You will all be my prayers.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Aunt Jean, you were my Mother's sister and what fun we used to have. I remember staying with you and Grandma at times and you were so easy to talk to and I believed you understood me better than most. I love you very much and want you to know that you were always in my prayers and I only wish for the same reception in heaven you had waiting for you.
Wendy, Colleen, Evelyn and John, may you all find the peace you so deserve and know that I believe she is with all that went before her and waiting for all of us now. God Bless you all and your families. I will think of you fondly and keep you in my prayers. Marlene (Unger) Ward
