Kevin! Even though we exchanged prayers, inspirational quotes/songs and text messages here and there, I was really looking forward to meeting you, to say Thank You! My sister, Dorothy, had told us how you cared for her, and how such a good friend you were to her. I read the condolence messages and reaffirmed that, that is who you are - a TRUE friend to many!!

Journey well, and may the Good Lord embrace you!

Rest in peace, my friend, I can hear you say "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 circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die".

James Aspwell Brown
