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.

My deepest sympathy go out to the family and friends of Harry Davis in your time of sorrow. May god continue to comfort you as you look to Him in prayer. I have known Harry all of my life. Harry is my uncle's best friend. Harry took on the role of being uncle when my uncle Wiliam was not present. I always remember Harry and my uncle William laughing at something. It was never a dull moment when those two were together. Harry was blessed with the gift of laughter "always had you laughing". We will truly be missed.

To The Davis Family I'm sorry for your loss. Harry and I go way back. We went to school together. He is my best friend. During the times growning up down the bottom. I would see Harry and he always would say something to make me laugh. It was a joy to have him as a friend. Your family are in my prayers
