A Thousand Winds
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.
One of my favorite poems in hard times such as this. I will continue to pray for strength for you and your family. Again my condolences, Love you Boo!

Heaven has open it’s door for another Angel. RIP Phyllis.
I was one of many who were privileged to work with Phyllis at KU Med – each of quickly learned how much love she had to give. We cherish her friendship always and know that in her eternal life she will pray for us as we do for her.
Our prayers are with the family also.
Phyllis a phenomenal woman. A star that shined even in the daylight. She knew Jesus and believed that we all should know him. She fulfilled the assignment that God gave her do and that was to win souls for his kingdom. I believe in my heart that she had no regrets about life when she passed. When I met Phyllis I do honestly believe that I was “touched by an angel.” She will never be forgotten because she was an AWESOME spirit that will never really ever die.
