To The Willaims and Hodges Family,
Two tired eyes are sleeping, two willing hands are still, for one who suffered for a brief while, is resting now in God's will.
I could always depend upon you to come anytime I called and you and I embraced each other with open arms everytime our paths crossed. I love you so much Carlton.

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.
