Dear Cousin, Keep the lights on in Heaven so we may see our way home. Tell your Momma and Cathy that we are hoping they figured out how to smuggle some beer up there for the family gathering:) Love you. Kimmy

This has brought comfort to me, I hope it does the same for you-

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 star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die.
