Rhonda, Tom, Dan and Anita,
We are very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I remember spending the week with Rhonda at her home and she was always very loving and caring. Our prayers are with you all.

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.
