    Kate, So sorry for your loss.
    I love this poem, I read it at my grandmother’s service. I wanted to share with you.

    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!)

    ~1932 Mary Elizabeth Frye

    Very sorry to hear about your loss.
    Got to know Paul at the Slot Car track….
    He helped me a lot at the track.
    And I grew up in the old brookside area in the day.
    He will be missed.
