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.

I can't begin to imagine the grief that your entire family is going through. My son, Zachary Williams, was in Kaleb ' s class last year. I had the joy of being able to get to know Kaleb through my classroom interactions and as a field trip chaperone. He's remembered as the kind, funny, sometimes shy boy that he was and is greatly missed. My continued thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Prayers for you, my friends Christine and Frank, and all other friends and family and the community of Bell. I pray the Lord hold you tight in his loving arms and give you healing from this tragedy. I'm sorry I can't be there in person for the memorial or the candle vigil. I will however stop whatever I'm doing at 7pm to join in lighting candles in remembrance of these precious souls gone much too soon. Much Love from afar, Shannon & Clint.
