To The Butler Family,
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Butler seven months ago, when I picked him at Davita Dialysis. I am very saddened by his passing. He was truly a pleasure to have on the bus. If there is anything that I can do for please let me know.
God Bless your Family,

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.
