Court,
To you and your family, my condolences for your loss. May wonderful thoughts and memories keep her spirit alive.
To lose anyone close to you is tough, but to lose family is discouraging and unfair. But know that there are those of us who will never leave your side when you need it most.

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.
