My son worked with Adam. He said that Adam was a good friend and always there when needed. He enjoyed knowing him and is very sad about his passing. God comfort his family and friends. Life is short. Adam is experiencing eternity with God now, but it will be hard to let him go.

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.
