ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Perhaps you sang a tender song
or sat quietly in a chair Perhaps you sent some beautiful flowers
If so we sw them there Perhaps you sent or spoke kind words
As any friend would say Perhaps you were not there at all
Just thought of us that day Perhaps you prepared some tasty food
Or maybe furnished a car Perhaps you rendered a service unseen
Near at hand or from afar Whatever you did to console the heart We thank you so much---Whatever the part. The Family and Friends of Will Freeman

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 a diamond glints of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autum'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!
