Condolence: To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
I pray that God would comfort and strengthen you during this time,you are all in our prayers.Its been along time since I have seen any of you probably since Silvers Lake but the memories are always there.Here is something I am sure he would say to you all:
Do not stand at my grave and forever 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’s 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 forever cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
