Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. A wonderful person, friend and aide, one who was better God never made. Time may heal the broken-hearted, time may make the wound less sore; but time will never stop the longing for the loved one gone before. 1-800-263-6480 classifieds@metroland.comCLASSIFIEDS OBITUARIES | ANNOUNCEMENTS | JOBS | MARKETPLACE OBITUARIES
