Jenny and family,
We are saddened to hear of your loss. To loose someone so close and precious is very, very hard. You can never be prepared, but know that he is in a place without pain and sorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are and have been with you and your family over the past days.

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.
