Message from Bonnie MacLeod and Andy Bingle2014-11-21 14:34:58
Do not stand at my grave and weep 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 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. Mary Frye, American poet (1904 - 2004) Our deepest sympathy Barb and John. Pete was a wonderful friend. Such memories. He will be in our hearts forever.
