Virginia tells family and friends: " 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 a diamond glint in the snow. I am sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the uplifting hush of quiet birds. I am the starshine at night. Don't stand by my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die".
