DUTCHAK:  In loving memory of Susan Dutchak, who passed away October 12, 2000.

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,

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.

-Lovingly remembered by her family and dearly missed.

No matter how life changes,

No matter what we do:

A special place within our hearts,

Is always kept for you.

If remembering brings us closer,

Then you never went away;

For thoughts of you are with us,

Each and every day.

We thought of you today,

But that is nothing new;

We thought about you yesterday,

And days before that too.

We think of you in silence,

We often speak your name;

Now all we have are memories,

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake,

With which we’ll never part;

God has you in His keeping,

We have you in our heart.

-Your loving family:  Rose; Laureen and Brian and family; Darrell and Darlene and family; Darla and family.
