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.

Dearest Dr. Christian and Family:

I am sorry to hear of your loved one's passing. It's so very difficult to deal with this, but PLEASE keep in mind that now, Brenda has earned her wings and is safely wrapped in the warmth and strength of the Lord's arms. She is in a place where there is no more pain; no more suffering and no more worrying. She is watching over each and every one of you and will be in your hearts and with you each and every day, through each and every step you take. Take comfort. There will come a day when you are all together again...rejoicing.

With love,
Debbie Webb
