ci Ajm cI\pt (Here
"Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
1 am the diamond glints of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
1 am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; / did not die."
The family wishes to express heartfelt thanks to their many
friends and church family, who extended acts of com fort, love
and kindness during their hours of bereavement. May God
continue to bless each one of you.
