I only had the pleasure of meeting Lamar about a month and a half ago at another one of our family member's funerals. It saddens me that he was taken away so suddenly. My heart and prayers go out to all of my family especially those closest to him. Life is too short. We need to cherish it while we are here. I am going to make sure that I stay in touch with my family. We all need to stick together, especially during tough times like these. I love you all and stay strong. GOD bless you.

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.
