"Do Not Stand At My Grave
And Weep"

August 13, 1997
October 15, 1967

Dedicated to the memory of my beautiful daughter, Dawn Marie

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,
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.

On August 13, 1997, I lost my precious daughter to a tragic car accident.
It is a mother's worst nightmare, to receive a call that her daughter has died.
There are no words to explain the loss I feel.
Dawn gave meaning to the word life and lived it to the fullest. She experienced things that most people only dream of. Her life of loving animals and teaching others to love and respect God's creatures started at a very young age and continued until her death. Her family, friends, and animal friends miss her greatly. We can only hope that God had a plan for her and that she is happy among God's creatures in Heaven.
I love you, Dawn, and I miss you every second of every day.
~Mom
