Roger, Barbara and family,

I want to send my condonlences for the passing of Mary. It was a shock for me since I just saw her a few months ago when we were home for a visit. I know firsthand it's hard right now with the holidays and all, but rest in the comfort that she is not suffering anymore. That's how I get through without mom here now. It's been almost a year and still doesn't seem real.

Mary was a kind and gentle girl who touched everyone she came into contact with. She will be missed by everyone, but her spirit will always be in our hearts.

May God bless and protect you and your family through in your time of sorrow.

Warmest sympathies,

Gena Edwards-Hardy and Family

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.
