My condolences to Leo and family, sad to hear Lois passed on.
She and Leo stood at my wedding to Niilo in 1956,
It has been a long time since I saw her last.

Poppa and Family:
So great a loss could never be comforted by so few words and yet these words are offered to you with hopes that in some small way, they reach out and ease your sadness. Nan was a very positive, loving caring influential person that openly welcomed everyone in her family. She was an amazing woman and my thoughts and love for her will live on forever.
Thinking of you in this difficult time.

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.
Sincere condolences to the whole Neimi family, hold on to all the great memories of a long happy life.
