Our condolences to Pete's family from his cousins. The Rooney Family. Remembering happy times together at White Horse Beach and with all the Donahue Family on Holidays at our family Christmas get togethers, one in particular I remember at Pete's Mom&Dads house. It was great seeing him again at our Donahue Family reunion a few years back. May you have solace in all the love you shared.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there I do not sleep.
I am the 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 waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling 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.
