Our deepest sympathy to Lorna and the entire Knapp family. We'd like to share this poem by Mary E. Frye, which is public domain.
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.
May wonderful family memories and love of friends help you through this difficult time.

What could be better than hanging out at the Knapp's house on a warm summer evening waiting for our second or third year of college to start and watch Arthur arm wrestle Steve's buddies. I can still feel his handshake today.
