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.

Geraldine and family,
There will never be enough ways to express how sorry we are for your loss. Saying we're sorry seems so inadequate.. We will be praying for you and your family as you grieve and pray that God's love and peace that transcends all understanding be with you and your family.
