Thank you, Charles, for your commitment and your courage. Thank you for your sacrifice. You are an honor to your family. I am sorry we lost you to this war. My heart goes out to your loved ones and I send this condolence to remind them that you are not really lost - just changed. May you rest in peace.

I Did Not Die

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 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
