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?s rain. When you awaken in the morning hush Of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there, I did not die. To honour Jack?s wishes, there will be no funeral service. Forward condolences through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
