Thank you, June, for all of the love and happiness you gave my father over the past 30 years. This poem seems to match your magnificent spirit in the best way.

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 sun 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 circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

I will always remember how sweet Aunt June was to our family and the wonder times we had at family reunions. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Laurie, I thought of you just a few days ago when I started getting Christmas cards and how Mom loved getting cards from you. I will not be able to attend the services due to work, but I'll be sending up prayers for all.

Love to All,
Gail and Gary
