Farris Henderson Wendt (Queenie) 1925 - 2006
“Don’t cry at my grave because I won’t be there, I’ll be in breeze that rustles your hair. I’ll be in the sunshine, I’ll be in the snow, I’ll be in the place we used to go. I’ll be in your laughter and in funny things, I’ll be in your shadows and there in your dreams. I’ll be in your greeting but not in your good-byes, I’ll be in your reflection of your loving eyes. I’ll always be with you and I’ll always care. So don’t cry at my grave because I won’t be there”. – Author Unknown
