"Gråt inte vid min grav.
Jag finns inte där
Jag finns i solens spegelblänk på fjärden.
Jag finns i vindens lek över sädesfälten.
Och när Du en tidig morgon
väcks av fåglars kvitter
är det min röst Du hör.
Så gråt inte vid min grav.
Jag är inte död.
Jag har bara gett mig av."

My condolences to Harriet's family. I was able to know Harriet through the friendship she had with my mother Margaret Schaedel. The two met at Maas Brothers & continued to my mother's death in 2004. I continued to stay in touch. Harriet was a lovely in many ways. I am so glad to have known her.
