"Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep;
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow;
I am sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gently autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush; Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there- I did not die."
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation for all acts of kindness during the illness and final demise of their loved one. May God bless and keep each of you.
