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.

We want to wish our condolences for your family's loss. Vicky was always a participant in the fund raiser luncheons for the VFW. She would sit on the opposite side of the room from my mother-in-law, Stella Zachara. As I recall, Vicky would take home many prizes from the raffles held there.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Stella Zachara and her sister, Adeline Kolbusz are now at St Patrick's Residence in Naperville, close to Ron Zachara's home.

Once again, sorry to hear of your loss.

Stella Zachara, Adeline Kolbusz, Ronald and Linda Zachara.
