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.

My deepest sympathy to the Byars family. Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal. I know you loved your husband but God loved him best. He's not now resting in the arms of the master. Kevin's work here is complete he has gone to his new home over in Glory. Can't you hear all the Saints and Jesus saying "Welcome home my good and faithful servant. Psalms 23:
God will comfort and keep you. If there is anything I can do don't hesitate to call me.

Love,
Marilyn Williams
