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 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.
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.

I will never forget the porters
When I was 5 years old Gary was a life guard in the summer of 1961 he personally taught me how to swim at Cranberry Cove in Hanson. All I knew that he was killed in action just before school let out for the summer of 67. His family had an apple farm selling cider apples and Christmas trees. Later in my life I was able to visit Washington several times and etched Gary memorial along with three others who gave their lives to protect our county. May you never be forgotten…..
