Do Not Weep
Mary Frye



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!


Rose and Family,

We are so terribly sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God's Grace comfort you all in your time of need.

Our Love,
The Halls

Rose, Matthew, and Jeanette, words are not enough to express our sympathy. Laton must have held a very special place in Jesus's Heart for him to call him home so soon. I know he holds a place in ours.
May He bless you with peace and comfort. Love Marie & Olin

A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
If all the world was ours to give,
We would give it yes, and more,
To see you coming up the steps,
And walking through the door.
To hear your voice and see your smile,
To sit and talk a while,
To be with you that same old way,
Would be our fondest day.
A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two smiling eyes closed to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.


Our prayers go out to you Rose and Matthew. Laton was a wonderful man and will always be remembered.
