Lucy (Timmermann) Justiliano
Venice, Florida
Do not stand at the 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 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 star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I did not die.
They all meet in heaven
Dear Margret and family,
such sad news, I know so
well how it feels from when
Jake left me. My heartfelt
condolences.
I´m thinking of you.
I have dear memories from
visiting your beautiful home
in Reykjavik while
Jake was
still here, enjoying your great
hospitality, (I remember we had
fresh salmon) and the friendship
with you and Gunnar.
Joni Jacobs went to military
school in Reykjavik, so Jake and I
often visited.
Farewell dear Gunnar, at last you
are in no pain and can come to
rest with all the other airline
guys in heaven above.
