THE WALL OF FACES

Richard is buried at Glen Eden Memorial Park in Livonia, MI.

I still miss my friend, who has been gone now for 42 years. I remember the good times together with your family. You will always be remembered and ride with me.
Retired Asst Chief Westland Mi Fire Dept, now a Patriot Guard Rider. 01/08

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
