We knew you had to go away it was your time you see 
but we didn 't take the time to face that you were leaving us. You weren 't afraid ofdying 
for you knew what lay in store in the blinking ofan eye or the closing ofa door. 
You shared with us a journey that only you could see 
and helped us understand God's way as it was meant to be. 
Life had so restricted you your spirit is now free 
to go explore the universe for all eternity. 
Clarence, Helen and Grandchildren

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, 1 do not sleep. 
1 am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints ofsnow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, 
1 am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning 's hush 1 am the swift uplifting rush ofquiet birds in circled flight, 
lam the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. 1 am not there, l did not die.
