I have so many wonderful memories of Aunt Peggy, she was a special person, and I always looked forward to her visits and our annual family cookouts. It was only last week that Aunt Hennie and I were reminiscing about some of the funnier times spent with Aunt Peggy when I was growing up.

I hope your wonderful memories of your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother will help to ease the pain at this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

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.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
