Condolence: To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I pray that God would comfort and strengthen you during this time,you are all in our prayers.Its been along time since I have seen any of you probably since Silvers Lake but the memories are always there.Here is something I am sure he would say to you all: Do not stand at my grave and forever 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’s 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 forever cry. I am not there. I did not die.
