A Very Sad Day

On Thursday, December 29th, Heaven gained another sweet angel when my grandmother passed away. She was 77 years old and suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Her and my grandfather were married for 61 years so please keep my grandfather in your thoughts and prayers. She was the heart of the Hall family and will be greatly missed. It has been a hard few days but I know she is finally at peace. My Aunt read this beautiful poem at her funeral:

Do not stand at my grave and weep
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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
