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 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. by Mary Elizabeth Frye (1932) I'm so sorry for your loss, Jill. My prayers are with you and your family. ...Deb

To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. Our sincere condolences, Kelli was full of life and we know will be lovingly missed by her family and all those she touched. Paul & Kate Shields

Arleigh and Hazel, thinking of you at this time. Kelli was a wonderful women. May your memories of her help you through this challenging time.

~ Vimy

I only knew Kelli by first name, until I saw the notice of her passing through the LHSC email yesterday. In 2012, I learned to run through the LHSC couch to 5 k program and I spent time with Kelli during those months of training. Kelli and I would walk together initially, but when the running started, she was ahead of the rest of us. She inspired me, when others would stop to walk, she would keep running, and so I would keep running too. She was an incredibly motivating, likeable person, my thoughts are with her loved ones.

Hi Jill. I’m sorry for your loss and the pain of this time. I pray it is balanced with great memories of joy, laughter and love shared. I think about how much she accomplished, how strong she was and how proud you were of her. I believe that now is her time to spread her wings and soar like an eagle; to run and not get tired; to walk and never get weary.(Isa40:31) I believe she’s at peace and I pray peace, strength and comfort for you and your family. Grace

My deepest sympathies are with you and your family at this time Jill. I know how much you loved your sister, and from what you've said, she must have been a remarkable woman. She was a gift from heaven, whose purpose was to make this world understand what love, friendship, goodness, and family was all about. Goodness belongs to heaven, and I know she is watching from there, bestowing her beautiful smile upon everyone I hope that knowing how special she was will be a comfort to you. It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. I am praying for strength and comfort for you and your family. Love Angella Norman
