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'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 cry
I am not there. I did not die.

Dear Linda,
I am so sorry to hear about Ruth's passing. I have not been at the Centre for a couple of weeks because I've been ill. I wish I had known earlier because I would have wanted to attend her funeral. Today I went by to see my grandmother and was shocked to notice someone else in Ruth's room. I will so miss the beautiful smile on Ruth's face when she would see my daughter, Jody, and I will particularly miss seeing you on our visits.

Linda, Frank, and families, Deben and I want to express our most heart felt condolences for your loss. She will be truly missed by all those who knew her. For me, my Auntie Ruthie always had that great smile and she knew how to make you smile. Times at her house were always fun and memorable. As the years went by our conversations were through the cards she would send me for every occasion and she never forgot. I will miss her.
