"God looked around his garden, and saw an empty space, he then looked down upon the earth, and saw your darling face. He put his arms around you,and carried you to rest, Gods garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best. "-

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 glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle Autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift 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. - Unkown
