Ms. Louise Mary, Sandra, and Nita, i pray for you all. I have been there where you are today, I have an ideal how you are feeling, right now there is friends and family around, but once everyone departs then that's when it really hit you, that daddy is in heaven. Call me if you want a hug, i am not good at talking about the lost of a love one. I still struggle with the passing of my dad. I love Mr. James as if he was my father, i will miss him dearly.

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.
