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.

To the Guyton family I just want you all to know that my prayers are with you all at this time of sadness. Mrs. Guyton please dont wait to call me if u need anything I see u as my 2nd mother and I love you all. Mr. Guyton was a father figure to me and his two sons like my brothers. I will always remember those times riding in the (little white car with Mr. Guyton's bike rack on the back acting crazy) to and from school with you guys or hanging out in the back yard at your house. It seems like yesterday we would play ball in the back yard and he would watch us. He was one of the 1st men that showed me that hardwork was vital for success in life(not with words but with Action!). I looked up to him and still do to this day. I thank god for the Guyton family who has been so good to my family for years since we moved behind you guys in the mid 80's words cannot express how much you guys have ment to me and my growth as a person from day 1. To Donald and Jason you two should be proud (and i know u are) that your dad touched many,many lives not just mine. I love you both and I'm proud to be a part of your extended family please know that the two of you have a spot in my heart that could never be replaced by anything or anyone. The memories of your family helped me through alot of dark days that I had while on my deployments overseas while away in the Army. It gives me great peace to know that Big Donald is in heaven and with the loss of him and others like him I will continue to live my life the best way I know how by staying focused on that Joyful reunion with those that have gone and will go before me. Marcus
