I will miss my friend. We had some very good chats when I would come to walk JJ. Even on my worst day, John would make me feel like my problems were miniscule. I especially enjoyed the story about how he met Lois. I admired his sense of humor and courage. Lois, Jason, and JJ will be in my thoughts and prayers. With loving memories, Elena

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.
