Joan and Ken:

There are no words that anyone can say that will ever ease or heal your pain.
You have probably one of the best of support groups ever in the CVAC family, a family is some ways we hope that we have become a member.
Joan, as I have asked you so many times after your visits to our place of employmnent please call me, we are always here for you; if only that you just need to vent, yell and or scream, we are here for you.

God Bless you all.

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.

Dear Aragona Family,

John was a great guy. I was fortunate to speak to him a few months ago and know that he was happy in life and the direction it was leading for him. As you get older, you tend to seperate from people that you knew when you were younger, but it doesn't mean that you forget them. I will never forget you John. You were a great guy! Jimmy, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers steadily.

Paul Kless

John had accomplished so much in such a short time and he was always a person I looked up to. I'm glad that I got to share so many good memories with him as did we all. I'll never forget you John.
All my Love,
Pkless
