In loving memory of Placido M. Casiano, Jr. 

5/16/1980 - 3/2/2020

"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 sun 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."
