To my grandmother, may your soul Rest In Paradise with our savior Jesus Christ. I can only hope to join you up there after I have lived a long and prosperous life....There are so many things I wish we could have done together, but I'm ok with knowing that God was ready for you to join him as one of his Angels. I will always love you and cherish the memories of you!

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

When I am dead, my dearest

When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
