To the family of Ada Lewis:

Ada touched many hearts during her life, as seen in the hearts of her large and loving family. I had enjoyed sharing a brief period of her life when she needed assistance in recovery. Even during this difficult time of her life, Ada was able to touch the hearts of all healthcare workers she came into contact. I enjoyed working with Ada and will miss her as if she had always been part of my own family. God bless you and you will always be in my prayers.

Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd;I shall not want.He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell[a] in the house of the LORD
Forever.
We all know to be absent form the body is to be present with the LORD.

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.
