Mary, Priscilla, Mandy and Will, and the rest of the Griffey family - I am so sorry to hear the news of Rosie's passing. She was a great friend to my grandmother. The whole family was like our second family. I know the pain of your loss. If you need anything we are still on the corner of Broad and Franklin.

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.
