Patricia, My thoughts are with you today in hope, that in time the hurt will turn to enjoyment of remembering what Mike has given you and what you shared with him.

Micheal would say:
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousands winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on the snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle Autumns rain
When you awaken in the mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
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

My prayers are with you, Trica and Micheal’s family. I also pray for the repose of his soul.
Love,
Colette

Please accept my condolences to you and your family. It is never hard to lose someone you love. I lost my father last year; he was killed in a car crash.
