In lieu of flowers, donations to The University Hospitals Kingston Foundation 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 sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's 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 cry, I am not there; I did not die. Mary Frye 1932 The Family wishes to thank the Doctors and Nurses at KGH and the Caregivers at Trillium Centre of Kingston. 11499220
