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.

Dear Lcpl Theodore Rolstad, Thank you for your service as an Aircraft Electronic Systems Tech. I researched you on your 73rd birthday, happy birthday. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Columbus Day Weekend. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Hi Terry and all the Rolstad's, I just saw you on the traveling wall in California and I can't believe it's been 45 years. I still remember you just as the picture on this site. I hope you, Gary, Dad, Alan, and Agatha can look down on us with love and pride. I won't ever forget the trouble we got into with the bulldozer in the park. I miss you cuz and the others and will continue to remember you all for another 45. Love Dave Harwood
