I am the thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush. I am the soft uplifting rush, of beautiful birds in circling flight, I am the starshine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am the silence in a quiet room. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there I did not die.” By Mary Elizabeth Frye The Funeral Service will be on Friday, April 22, 2011, at 1:00 PM at Currie-Jefferson Funeral Home 2701 John Hawkins Parkway, Hoover, AL 35244.
