Forever Love

Kalevankangas cemetery was established in 1880.

To my son Janne, who's resting place is under a huge and a very old maple tree.
He passed away 16.10.2004 at the age of 28.

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the star shine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

A beautiful scene and a lovely poem. Such a touching reminder of the sorrows we all must face, a realization that makes us all more loving and more forgiving.

When I think of you I see a beautiful, talented woman living in a fairyland place. Never realizing that you have had such a tragedy. Your image of the cemetery is, as Gill said "a tribute"
