They were cremated together and members of the family were each given some of the ashes to scatter as they saw fit. We have lived in this area since she was thirteen and often said she never wanted to leave so I scattered their ashes in the sound and in my backyard. They have no grave and this poem seems so fitting. I am now in my seventies and I am still able to do counted cross-stitch. I want to do this poem in their memory and mine when I am scattered on top of their ashes. It has been 22 years and I visit her in my mind,almost every day. God gave me a beautiful grand daughter that was born one year and one day after their death. I don't know if I could have made it with out her. Thank you for the poem. I had the first part but didn't know where to look for the last. God bless you and your family.

I have included your tribute to your mother with the poem Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep on the webpage (lens) that I created for it.

I love the ‘message’ from your mom, Sleepy Jean advising you to cheer up.

I have relatives who have struggled with cancer and the process is very painful. My mother is 92 years old and she is close to leaving us and I do not know how to be strong, except knowing that she is going to heaven. I found your poem because I am looking for a poem to read when she does.

For years she had kept this poem in a special place and would bring it out on occasion to remind us that she wanted it read at her funeral. This poem gives me great comfort and exemplifies my mom's spirit and beliefs like no other. My 'smile' came after the funeral, at my parent's home my entire family (including her sisters Darlene, Jean and Emme) all had a huge water fight. No one was safe, as waterguns, buckets and hoses were brought out. My mom would have loved that. I miss my mom. My mother, Aladene, died unexpectedly on June 12, 2002.
