We loved "Sweet Pea" he would always come around to visit when he could; always a very respectful young man when we heard this happened we were completly in shock, thinking we will never see him again in person but he will always be there in spirit and in our minds and definetly in our hearts he will always be remembered ..MAY GOD BLESS HIS MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER AND THE REST OF HIS FAMILY..YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS

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.
