Thank you, Garrison, for your courage and service. You completed your mission here and now are free from the cares of this world. I hope to meet you one day. May your family and friends be comforted in that they had the privilege of knowing you in this life. Rest in peace and soar throughout the cosmos.

I Am Not Dead

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 diamond glints of 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 encircled 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.
