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.

Joe and Family,
My wife(Julita) and I share in your loss of this wonderful lady your constant companion and love of your life. We all grew up together in Piti playing kids games and sharing those moment of happiness as we remembered them. Tita was like another sister to me and my fond memories of her teaching me how to drive her father's jeep. I learn to drive from her. She was the greatest women softball player in Guam. I remembered being her cather when she started pitching and also playing catch with her and her sister Isabel. Those are fond memories that I was priviliged to be a part of. Our sincere condolences and prayers to all of you.
