West Point, 1987

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Donna McAleer on February 14, 2001:

Ted and I have fond memories Merritt Road backyard tailgates with Rob and Holly and so many other classmates. We shared many beers, stories and laughs. We love you guys.

"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 diamonds glints on snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autum's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the siwft 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 spirit livess"
