I AM NOT HERE 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 of snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumns rain. When you awaken in the mornings 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.
We, the family of the late Elizabeth Fuller, wish to express sin cere appreciation for the many kind expressions of sympathy extended to us during our hours of bereavement. We have been comforted and strengthened by your thoughtfulness, and we shall forever remember and thank God for you.
