Kevin and Wendy,

David and I are so sorry for your loss. There are not words to express the emotions you will go thru the next few months. A good friend sent me this thought and told me it would comfort me later in life (after my father died) and it has. So I am giving it to you.
Death is just a journey
Love is eternal
Heaven is real
I hope it brings you comfort in the comming days ahead.

Love,
Jack & Peggy

We can never forget your precious smile and how you brightened our lifes each day. We can still see your sparkling eyes and wonder why God took you away. We have peace of mind and comfort in knowing that you are now with our Lord up above. The Angels are now taking care of you with their everlasting love. We know in your life you were richly blessed and in everything you did endeavor. For those of us you have left behind you'll be in our hearts forever.

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.

Roy was one of the happiness persons I have had the honor to meet. He and Ronny had in my opinion the most joyous marriage. They had unconditional love and always were happy with each other. They were real role models to all in the union of marriage. Thanks for the smiles,patience and example.
