For those who are gone, but not forgotten

The Best of Missouri Hands would like to acknowledge the life and creative spirit of Phil Jones (Sculpture artist), Linda Schwermer (Jewelry artist), Cynthia Morris (Colored Pencil artist), Clark Willett (Photographer) and Dodie Eisenhauer (Metal artist). We extend our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of our fellow artists who have gone before us.

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye

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 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 stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
