"April 6, 1911 - December 23, 2002"

So Many Hats you wore, and so Many Hearts you filled.

I count myself blessed to have known you and your wonderful family.

Now you are in the arms of those you love that went before you,

may they keep you safe till we meet again.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn 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 stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
