Jim,
One is lost for words to truely express how one feels when a loved one is called by the Father. Except to say we will all meet again one day, as promised by the Son. You and your family are in our prayers.

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.
