Love Ma, Always.

I am the wind in the trees, the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky a rainbow after a storm. I am morning dew and freshly fallen snow. A butterfly overhead and a puppy at play. I am a gentle touch, a warm embrace. Open your heart to know I am not gone. Reach deep into your soul you will find me. I am here, have no fear, I am with you, always.

Dear Clews Family,

There are no words,
There is sympathy, grief and understanding.
There are countless memories,
And prayers and love
But there are no words.

To all members of Billy's Family,

My heart is so heavy with grief as I remember a young sweet child full of life and love. A teen full of vigor and hopes. A man who loved his wife, children, mother, father, brother and close friends in only the way he knew how. I am choosing to remember the sparkle in his eyes for that was the true Billy.

My sincerest and heartfelt condolences to you all.
