There will be no funeral as per her request. OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY Heavy are our hearts today, memory brings you back once more, to the time when you were with us, to the happy days of yore. 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. And have you gone, forever gone and left us here to weep. Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep. A sweet little flower, nipped in the bud, no grief or sorrow knew; just came to earth to win our love and then to Heaven withdrew. No stain was on your little heart, sin had not entered there; and innocence slept sweetly on that pale white brow so fair. You were too pure for this cold earth, too beautiful to stay, and so God's holy angel bore our darling one away. 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.
