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 sun 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 – 1932

Thank You
Dear Moses M Cotton,
I am a sophomore at Gridley High School in Gridley, Illinois. I am posting this remembrance as part of the Gridley High School Posting Project. It is my obligation as an American, to take a few moments of my time to thank you for fighting for my country and ultimately sacrificing yourself. You gave your life so all American’s could be guaranteed freedom and opportunity. I would never be able to do what you have done. There is not the proper word that can be said to thank you and honor you as you deserve. Thank you so very much and may God be with your family and those who were close to you.
Humbly and respectfully,
Marie Shank
