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 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 truly die.

Dear Sergeant Abbatemarco,
As a Hackensack resident I will remember you in my prayers.
Thank you for your sacrifice for our MARVELOUS country.
We will try to live our best lives in your memory.
God bless you and your family.
Amen.
Joe Sommers
