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 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.
You were the best grand father and great grandfather, you will never be forgotten. Love Rick, Dawn, Lauren,Ricky, and Jacob
Jackie, Jerry & family,
We are sorry for your loss. I know he will be missed. You will have many great memories. One of my fondest memories is from the late sixties when Karen and I rode the bus with Grandma from Woodbury to Louisville to visit. We are remembering you and your family in our prayers.
Love,
Kathy
