OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY May the winds of love blow softly and whisper so you'll hear; we will always love and miss you and wish that you were here. And while you lie in peaceful sleep, your memory we shall always keep. 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 glint on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning 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. What would I give to clasp your hand, your happy face to see, to hear your voice and see your smile, that meant so much to me.
