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.

Dina & Dylan I've lost my baby brother, you have lost your husband & father. I don't understand why it happened. I know none of us do. Dylan I want you to hold on to the memories of your hero, because he is always with you and will never leave your side. He loved you more than life. You were his pride and joy, he was so proud of you. Dina we will get through this somehow. I love both. GOD BLESS YOU!! Brenda Brandvold

Dina, I wrote this for you.

Silence is among us as we mourn our losses, In the tradgedy we remember our friend, husband and father. We are thankful that we were able to share in his life. We gather in his honor, celebrating the memories, each one precious. But they are not all that we have left. We have each othr as well and we hae somethiing in common, we are his friends. Words become few and far between for me as I am not knowing what to say to console those he left behind. But my heartfelt feelings I wear on my sleeve. As a tear wets my Cheek I recall many times with laughter and fun, These are the stepping stones to which recoveries path we must follow. For in death there is life and to carry on the legacy, we.... must live, live to tell the tales, ones of joy and of grief. But yet alone they are all a part of him, and will forever be sacred in our hearts. So when you are thinking of Mark do not cry that he is gone, but rejoice that he lived and that you knew him - He was a treasure.

In Loving Memory of Mark Ghee

To Dina and Dylan...IN MEMORY OF MARK

He is gone!

You can shed tears that he is gone,

Or you can smile because he lived,

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,

Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,

Or you can be full of the love that you shared,

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he is gone,

Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,

Or you can do what he would want - smile, open your eyes, love

AND GO ON!

Please know that, as a friend and co-worker of your Mother, Marilyn Ossman, all of us here at JEA send to you and your entire family our deepest and heartfelt sympathy. We are very saddened for your loss. After the rain, the sun always shine.
