do not stand at my grave and weep

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Friend

Dave. I as classmates we were friends, as firefighters we were brothers, then when you came home I was one of your pallbearer. It was an honor to know you and an honor to escorted you to your resting place. I think of you often.
