Honorable George Bermudez, was my father's cousin. My mother Margarita Pereira Bermudez and father Deusdelid Bermudez, spoke of him often. My parents were from Vieques, Puerto Rico. If I'm not Mistaken, George drove up to us in an unmarked RMP during the 1970s and we were so happy and proud as Latinos to know he was related. God bless him, his children and Herencia.

When I am dead, my dearest

When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
