There are no words to offer that will give you peace, for that kind of peace only comes from God. So please know that we are praying for everyone. I loved Kim so much. I lived in her home my whole life and we shared so much life together. Those lifetime memories are what I will hold so close to my heart and forever in my mind. And knowing that she hurts not anymore is my comfort.

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.
