To my beautiful niece Kristina,

I Do Believe

There is nothing I can do, to make her come back.
There are no words I can say, that can replace the words you long to hear.
There are no answer's I can give, that will satisfy your questions.
There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace hers. And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared.
I can not promise your broken heart will ever be complete. I will say it could have been worse.
I will not deny it was a tragedy.
I will not lie and tell you she will come back.
She never really left.
I do promise she hears you when you speak. I will say she loves you no matter the distance. I will not deny she is in a better place. And, I will not lie; she is waiting to greet you some-day.
She is every step you take . She is in everything you do. She is the air you breathe. She is every beat of your heart.
"She is like the wind. You can not see her...but you will always feel her".
I am truly sorry for your loss Kristina, you have been through so much. Please keep in touch with me. I would love to hear from you once a week just to know you are okay. I need your address and phone number please call soon. I am very sorry that I was not able to come up for you but you are in my thoughts and prayers always.
Love, Aunt Pam

To The Family of Micheline,
I lived next door to your family on Beckett Street. I was sorry to see of her passing at such a young age. May you all find comfort in one another and the memories you shared. Prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
I went to school with Micheline at Jack Jr High and she was always a fun girl and excelled at sports.
She was in the popular crowd, but didn't look down on those who weren't. Although it has been years since we have seen each other, I have thought of her often and wondered where life led her. May God comfort you in your grief.

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.
