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.

Deepest sympathy to the Starr and McDowell families. Although we haven't been in contact for for a while, I'll always remember the good times we shared. I will truly miss Vivian, but I realize God has chosen another special flower for his garden of angels; and she is in a much better place. Love always

To the Starr Children, Words can not express my love for your mom. For she was more than just a sister-in-law, but a friend. We shared stories and some our inner-most thoughts. Remember God has everything under control. I love you guys so much.
