Dear Barb: I'm so very sorry for your loss. Except for the last year and a half Peter would often stop by my cottage for a chat and even though we always didn't agree we always parted company amicably and looked forward to our next "news update".My sincerest condolences to you and John.

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)
