It was a sad day in my life to lose my Mom...no words can describe the feelings or acceptance that she was no longer here with us...then as I was going through Dad's stuff I stumbled upon her choice for the back page of his Memorial Pamphlet a poem written by Mary Elizabeth Frye:

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am...

My grandmother without her there would be no methank you for your life and how you loved your family Thank you most of all for my mother Michelle Allen May you rest easy in heaven, Lanky has been waiting for you.
