....
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 soaring Hawk in flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die. ....
....
With deepest sympathies and sincere condolences,....
....
David, Edward, Frank and Josh...Virgin Steele
