My deepest condolences to all of Mr. Pavan's family. May you find peace and strength. For Mr. Pavan, a veteran, a brave man who served his country as a paratrooper and his family alike may you finally feel the peace of the open canopy above your head and may God hold you close always. I will remember you…
Eulogy for a Veteran
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 mornings 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.
