"Do Not stand at my grave and weep,
"I am not there, I do not sleep.
"I am a thousands winds that blow;
"O am the diamond glints if snow,
"I am the the sunlight on ripened grain;
"I am the gentle Autumns rain.
"When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the 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.

SORRY FOR YOUR LOST. BILL YOU WILL BE MISSED VERY MUCH. IT WAS WONDERFUL BEING YOUR FRIEND.

Beyond The Clouds
My precious Saviour, tho my cares
Come tumbling, crashing down,
I know that when I take Thy hand,
Bright sunlight shines around.
For Thou my Saviour, Who art God,
With Whom I'm yet in touch,
Oh, how can I explain Thy love,
Which brought me through so much?

For even tho the clouds be dense
And stormy be the sea,
I know that Thou canst still my soul,
Who silenced Galilee.
Thus, tho the clouds grow very dense
And cares seem not to cease,
I know my Saviour, only Thee,
Canst give to me Thy peace.

For how can I explain Thy love,
Which went to utmost length,
Whom, tho I'm weak and weary worn,
Canst give to me Thy strength.
And when I grow so very tired
That I can walk no more,
You carry me within Thine arms,
Thou Christ, Whom I adore.

For when You carry me my Lord,
By Whom the world was planned,
Along the shore can only see,
Thy footprints in the sand.
Oh Jesus, precious Saviour mine,
Who gave to me Thy grace,
I still can see, beyond the clouds,
The radiance of Thy face!

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL.
GOD BLESS

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Words can not express the sadness and shock we are feeling. Please know that we are here for you if you need us. Lynn and TJ also send their condolences. They were also very saddened by the news. Your dad was someone we were privileged to have known. Take care in knowing that he will always live in you through your memories and in your dreams. Love you.
