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.

To the Williams Family. Death is never too far away. We know you are still dealing with Yogi's death, but keep on praying. We knew Mr. Charles and Ms. Colleen growing up as kids on High Street. My parents considered them close friends. On behalf of my dad, Mr. Charlie Harris and our family, we extend our condolences to Greg and family. God does NOT make mistakes. We love you and are praying for you and with you.
Love,
