Friends and family may view and sign the guestbook at www.Pierce-JeffersonFuneralService.com "I am not dead, I leave you this great heritage of remembering joy. I still breathe, In the lingering fragrance, windblown, from my favorite flowers. I still smile in the moonlight's silver, And laugh in the sunlight's sparkling gold. I still speak in the echoes of the words you've heard me say Again and again. I still move, In the rhythm of waving grasses, in the dance of the tossing branches. I am not dead; My memory is warm in your hearts, comfort your sorrow. I am not apart from you, but part of you. For love is eternal, And those we love shall be with us throughout all eternity."
