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.

To Amelia's family, my sincerest condolences.
Every one that new Amelia lost a real friend, she has left a void that can never be filled.
I personally shall always feel that way.
We shared a lot, good memories and bad ones, we supported each other in our dark hours, we shared many good laughs too...
I truly loved her and I will miss her for ever.

To our Aunt Amelia, who was the best Italian cook we ever met. We will always remember her fantastic meals and especially the going away party for my wife and myself prior to our departure for Europe.
Our eternal love and prayers.
LTC Raymond W. Fontaine Jr.(nephew), and wife Charlotte and sons Edward and Peter.
