I did not have the pleasure of knowing Maxine or of her life. But for those of you who did know her, I offer this wonderful poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye. I hope that Maxine would like it.
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 a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. (Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die!) My sincere condolences to her family and friends. May she rest in peace.
