I was out of town when you left us and was so upset to here of this. Mr Bonnett, I thought so much of you for a long time from when we were neighbors in Central Park.

You will be missed and I am so sorry I was not in town.

To the family, he is now with Neil and a smile on his face.

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.
