There is no greater loss than a mother,but we must remember that God has a plan for each of us. When our work is done there is a summons that is served by Gods angel for a job well done it's time for your reward. The reward is a place next to him and a servants crown and robe. Just remember my friend God never makes a mistake. He is the Alpha and the Omega. You and your family are in my prayers. Continue to look to hills from hence our strenght comes from. May God continue his blessing upon yo

Dad 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 Grandmother helping you along your way.
