Suzie and family, I am sorry for your loss.
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 sunlight 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 flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die

I dearly loved getting to know Maggie at the Little Sisters. She was so kind, and just simply enjoyed the company of others. I miss her, but will never forget her.

Mrs. Gruner was my second grade teacher at St. John's. I remember her well because she was my favorite. Over the years, I have often reflected on her kindness to a scared little second grader. To this day, it impacts my life.
I am sorry for your loss and hope you find comfort in knowing she was a very special lady who was a great blessing to many.
