Please sign the Tribute Wall at mountpleasantgroup.com OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY The rolling stream of life rolls on. But still the vacant chair recalls the love, the voice, the smile of the one who once sat there. And while you lie in peaceful sleep, your memory we shall always keep. There is a link death cannot sever, love and remembrance last forever. 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's rain. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.
