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.

A message of comfort and hope to the family,

Mrs. Berry was loved by many and will be missed by all who loved and cared about her. Psalms 121 is a very encouraging scriptural passage. There Our Heavenly Father assures us that He will be with you to see you through these difficult days.

To Michelle and Family,

Mrs. Berry, with her soft voice, was one of the sweetest persons I knew. In spite of her health issues, she always had a smile. She would have loved to stay with all of you, but her body just would not let her do all the things she wanted to do.

And I know exactly what you all are going through. It is so hard to lose a parent. We all know how much Mrs. Berry loved her family, and would not want you to dwell on her death, but to celebrate her life. She would want you all to keep loving, and supporting each other, as if she were still here. You all were her pride, and joy.

We may not always understand why we go through certain things, but remember God is in control. He will never fail you, all you have to do is trust Him, look to Him in faith. Ask Him to heal your pain, and to help you trust Him more. He will fill this empty place in your heart with more of His Spirit.

Remember this is not how your family story will end. It is just the close of this chapter. You will see her again. My love to all of you.
