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.

Calvin, it has been 52 years since you left us. I remember when I first met you in 1966. You were 3 years older than I and others kids and we looked up to you. You took the time out to talk to us and give us a helping hand. I will never forget you. Rest on until that great getting up morning for all. Don

You will forever remain in our hearts and prayers

Dear Cpl Calvin Layton, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Qualified Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. The 50th anniversary of the start of your tour was this month. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Happy Spring! For many of us, we have begun Lent. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

CPL Calvin J Layton is resting at Delta Memorial Gardens, Greenville, Washington County, MS
