A quote from her handwritten notes:

"Immortality

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 gentle autumn's 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 star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there; I did not die."

(Harner, 1934)

Private burial will be later for family & friends, time and date to be determined.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to: St Judes Children Hospital or Calhoun County Humane Society in her name.
