Funeral service to be held Friday evening, February 25, at 6:00 p.m. at the Transcona Funeral Chapel, 1800 Day St., with Pastor Laura Friesen officiating. 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 the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gently 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. By Mary E. Frye Transcona Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements.
