Roger, Since you were a baby I have loved you with all my heart. We became family early in your life and stayed close through the years. You are and will always be in my heart. I looked after you over the years and now it is you that will look over all of us. It made me proud to be your surrogate Aunt. You are already deeply missed. I love you!

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.
