THE WALL OF FACES

Darrell,
"REB" as I knew you 52 yrs ago (I was 9. You were going to be my big brother-in-law. I was the happiest little girl, loved you so but broke our hearts when you had no choice but to leave.
Always & forever in my heart!
Georgianne Herman

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

HOOAH

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.
