Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday August 13, 2000

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MARY RUTH PAULSEN January 24, 1912-August 13, 1999Do 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 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. Author Unknown
