Jack and I were very sorry to read of John's passing. Due to a family situation we were not able to come and pay our final respect. We only knew him a short time, as Jack shared a room with him recently while recouping at rehab facility in Billerica, but he always had a smile and was so pleasant.

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.
