Do not stand at my grave and forever 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 stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

So Sorry
We send our Love and thoughts to Butch's family. We were glad to see him at LeRoy Jr's birthday in November. We will miss him, but we know we will all see each other again. He's with his beloved sisters and brothers that passed before him... assuredly catching them all up on things from down here. That's how the Taylors are... always story telling and gossiping in a loving way. Laughter and fun will follow him and remembering those good times will keep him alive in our hearts forever.
GOD Bless !
