Although your heart is hurting now,

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.

Rest in Peace Josh, Auntie Pat

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Your Sister, Patricia Jones

To Elisha ,Senitha and entire family
Words cannot express the grief I feel at the passing of Josh.
He was a wonderful nephew and I shall cherish the memories of being with him in New Orleans for the rest of my life.
As I told you God will be with you now and in the days and years to come as we try to go on with life.
We are not supposed to question but try and understand that God makes no mistakes.
We are human and we search for an answer, but we must continue to pray for comfort and peace.
I love all of you.
