THE WALL OF FACES

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.

My mother YVONNE spoke of you with extreme pride all through my childhood. Your medals and flag were always displayed in our home, now in my home because she is finally back with her dad. She missed you and loved you very much. I also joined the army SPC4. I have much respect for you and only wish I could have met you..I will be the grandfather to my grandchildren that I know you would have been to me. Thank you and I love you.

I am your sister Lorraine’s only granddaughter your niece Rachel is my mom thou I was born wayyyy after you left our family I visit your grave often as you are buried with your parents my memere (your mom) was a huge part of my life so much so my daughter has Yvonne as her middle name I just want you to know nana talks of you and uncle Omer often and has shown me lots of pictures you both but the picture that sticks in my head most is definitely the picture nana has of you in a glass casket my son looks a lot like you as a child
Anyways I’ll see you as soon as the snow melts and I’ll have your flag and fresh flowers for memere xoxo
Love always Bobbi
