Here is a poem, by an unknown author, in memory of Uncle Tommy and Aunt Delores. We will miss them both so much. They were truly awesome and kind people. Sending many thoughts of peace and many prayers your way.
May God bless you all.

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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!

Uncle Tommy, God grant you eternal joy and rest. From the memory little boy who was your sister's (Tess) grandchild, you and Aunt Delores were always kind and gracious and I will forever have fondest of memories of our visit's to the farm and what a wondrous place that was for a six / seven year old boy.
