Thank you to Ron for the beautiful poem and for reading it at the reception.
 JD's Wish
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 glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gently Autumn rain.
When you awake in  mornings hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.

I am the smile on Roxie's face
I am the strength in her embrace.
I am the care in Mark's strong voice.
I am the wisdom in his choice.
I am the strength in Rene's eyes.
I am the tears when 'ere she cries.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I'll miss him!
Ron 

Oh my dear friends, Rene, Roxci and the rest of the Sharbers and Erwin families..

What a wonderful, kind, great loving spirit JD has and will continue this in heaven till you meet again! 

 Whether Papa J met me at your front door Rene, or in your kitchen it was with a two handed bear hug, always a smile and always a postive word!!   

I am so lucky to have met a man with such love for his Wife and family. He certainly lived his life with gusto, hard work and also took time to smell the roses! Amazing role model for us all.

My heart is heavy with sadness for you all but I promise you, he is still with you. Look for those signs. He  is sending them to you.


Love, Cindi DeWine
