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....

Peter......Honoring you on your birthday.....You will always be remembered......God Bless

I grew up hearing about you and Gordon. My
Mom, Gail Greene, was your classmate. You and Gordon were and always will be Heros in my eyes.
