To Katie's Family

Years ago, I worked near Katie at the Secretary of State's office. She was always pretty, fun, knowledgable, efficient and helpful. I remember her fondly. Please accept my sincere sympathy for your tragic loss.

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.
