Memory can tell us only what we were,
In company with those we loved;
It cannot help us find out what each of us,
Alone, must now become.
Yet, no person is really alone;
Those who live no more still echo
Within our thoughts and words,
And what they did has become
Woven into who we are.
Our thoughts and prayers for all who were touched by her life.
My Mom (Barbara) and Dad (Lucien) will surely welcome her with open hearts.

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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning 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 weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.

I WILL MISS YOU GRAM...I WILL ALWAYS CARRY WITHIN ME THE TIMES WE SHARED OVER THE YEARS.ONE OF MANY MEMORIES I WILL KEEP ARE ALL THOSE TIMES WE WOULD GO TO VISIT YOU AND YOU WOULD PLAY THE HARMONICA FOR DEN AND ME.WE WOULD DANCE AND SING UP A STORM...GOOD TIMES GRAM,GOOD TIMES.I LOVE YOU.

YOUR GRAND-DAUGHTER,
MELISSA
