THE WALL OF FACES

Sgt Tony Arriaga is buried at National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii.

To my dad,

I did never knew but am grateful to know that you are a part of me.

I love you always,
Jacqueline

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.

As long as you are remembered you will never die...
