To Diane and Family,
My prayers are with you and your family as you walk this difficult path. However, God has it all under control so your sad tears will turn into joyful tears as you remember all of the memories of your mother. It was a pleasure knowing your mother. I will always remember her at the Queen's birthday parties at Dee's house. :) Peace be still. God will see you through.
Love to everyone.
Be Blessed,
Rhonda Starr

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.

WE ARE DEEPLY SADDENED BY THE LOSS OF A VERY VERY DEAR FRIEND. MY MOM AND MARY WERE LIKE SISTERS FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS AND MARY WAS LIKE AN AUNT TO ME OFTEN REMINDING ME OF HOW SHE ALWAYS KEPT THE STRING OF PEARLS I GAVE HER AS A SMALL CHILD. OUR PRAYERS AND SYMPATHY ARE EXTENDED TO THE FAMILY IN THE DIFFICULT TIME...SHE WAS TRULY SPECIAL TO MANY

To the Christian Family:
I extend my condolences to the entire Christian Family.
"Sunshine", (as I called Her) was a kind and wonderful person. So many times people took her kindness for weakness.
I will truly miss her but God called "Sunshine" home to shine in Heaven with him.
SHINE ON SUNSHINE, SHINE ON
