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.

Toni, Tracie, Nicole and the rest of the Tripoli Clan...
Memories galore flood my thoughts, heart and mind when I look back on the long relationship we have had with Tony. He was with David when we met, we spent night after night talking and sharing, we saw one another's children grow up, he showed his badge to Danny -- who then decided he wanted to be a policeman -- and now is. David & Tony met in grade school -- kindergarten, I believe -- and were friends for most of the following 52 years! They lived a life and shared memories that would make a best seller!! Tony honored David with being Toni's Godfather; and Tony was our best man at our wedding. We will miss our friend, our children will miss their "uncle" and life will miss out on the Tony that we once knew and loved so much! May God hold you in the palm of His hand and may He welcome Tony to eternal rest and into Gina's loving arms. We love you, our prayers are with you, and our hearts follow each of you. Love, Mary Kay
