I have the best memories of J.B. -one of which he motivated us to paint our house-I still have the bookcase he made and think of him every time I see it. I am so sorry I was at a conference and could not be with all of you. But I was thinking about you and him. Lots of love! Libby

"BJ" you are in our prayers-
your family is in our prayers. Peace be with you in God's loving hands.
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.
