Read MoreBe 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.

I had only met Mario once in the hospital, he fathered a great son. I wish I had a chance to spend more time with him and get to know him more from the stories I have heard about him, he had a good soul. I know that he was very sick towards the end and I am sure he is at eternal peace now. GOD Bless.

Dear Mario:
I always had such a great respect for you. I recognized almost immediately that you were kind,humorous,gentle,a great model for all men in how you loved and treated Josie. You were also a very intelligent man. Like looking at the calm surf, yet knowing that there was a terrific undertow beneath.
I have some very fond and funny memories of you. I shall hold the memory of you near me always.
May God grant you the eternal rest you so lovingly deserve and I pray...
