WHOM Society, Mt. Zion A.M.E. Zion Church
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 glint on the snow; I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the Autum n rain. When you awake in the morning hush, I am the swift unlifting rush; of birds circling in flight,
I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my gyrave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
The family acknowledges with sincere appreciation her caregivers, Dr. Benjamin Rucker, Trinity Hospice as well as the many expressions of sympathy and deeds of kindness shown during our bereavement.
