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.

I can’t even begin or know where to start…We thank you very for all the thoughts and prayers. I kept on Armorama all night and day for the family to come back and read the posts. The arrangements were made this morning and it was decided that Mark was going to be cremated. There will be a church service on Saturday followed by a small service at the cemetery. Maryann and the children were overwhelmed with the many responses and had asked to say Thank You very much for the prayers and poems.

So very sad...
Whenever something like this happens I like to think that somewhere in the world something really nice is happening to someone that I don't know about.
Take some time off and be with your family...
