THE WALL OF FACES

I never knew you in life, but my grandparents (your parents), my mother (your oldest sister Patricia), Aunt Linda, Uncle Rod, Aunt Tiny and Aunt Dorothy always spoke about you and spoke well of you. My Aunt Linda adored you, and thru her and the rest of the family I got to know you, even tho 14 years was between your sacrifice and my birth. So thankyou sir, I know I will always remember you and tell others of you.

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....

I hope u having a great party with my mom, Aunt Tiny,Aunt Linda, Uncle Rod, Grandma Allen

A true hero.
