To the loving sisters (J, M, D)
Time passes by, sometimes in a hurry, Our thoughts, our family, but not to worry.
Sometimes you feel sad, happy, or all alone, But not to worry, there’s a special home.
Our beliefs, our feelings, we keep within, But it all comes out,when we think of him.
The way he laughed, his smile, his face, But not to worry, there’s a better place.
He’s gone forever, you think, what to do? But not to worry, he’s always with you.
He might be gone, but we’re always here, We’ll share our love, and pass the fear.
Know he’s happy, know he’s free,
But not to worry, let it be

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.

Judy, Diana, Marjie,
I have nothing but funny memories of your Dad! He had the best sense of humor, he was so adorable and comical! I'll never forget my "waves" to your Dad, when we would drive by the house! I'm sorry for your loss, but I know your memories of him will warm your heart and bring a smile to your face! God Bless~
