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.

Carol, you won't even remember me but I remember both you and Gerry from Two Guys. When my husband was killed in an accident, Gerry did all he could to help me through the "muddles" and all that goes with it. I was and will always be so grateful to him. For you, I wish peace and the knowedge that you seem to have a great support group.

Gerry was the most kind and gentle person I have ever known. He was a man of great faith, with a special love for Our Lady, the Blessed Mother. You could always count on a smile when speaking with Gerry. His presence will be greatly missed. Rest well dear Gerry, in the bosom of the Lord.
