I am so sorry for your loss. I saw Joe last year and we had such a nice chat about the old days at the circle and dirtroad, we had so much fun as kids. He was always kind and considerate. May he rest in peace.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a 1,000 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 circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die.

With sincere sympathy,
Pam and Al
