REMEMERING BILL AVERY

I had the good fortune of serving with Bill in Alpha Company 1st Battalion 4th Marines, Vietnam (1969). I meet once a year, 50+ years later, with my Marine brothers who served in Alpha 1/4 in Vietnam. I think of Bill often during the year when events trigger it. I have an etching of his name from our Memorial in DC. Bill is also remembered by the rest of his A 1/4 brothers at our yearly event.
I am sorry for your loss!

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.

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