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.

Mrs. Taylor was full of wisdom and knowledge and she always shared some with me . She was always happy and never complained. She taught me alot about life and I am very thankful and blessed to have known her and to love her. I will never forget how she sung happy birthday to me a couple of years ago. It was greatest gift that I recieved.I did not know her all of my life but she shared a lifetime of wisdom with me. I would like to thank the Taylor family for sharing Mrs. Taylor. She was (is )a very special lady and I will truly miss her. May God's peace be with the Taylor family during this time and always.
