I added this beautiful poem to her grave site:

I DID NOT DIE!!

They say that life is fleeting, I know that this is true
I left this world so quickly! With no goodbye to you.
I know how much you miss me, Your tears fall ever light
The pillow where you lay your head, Is wet with them at night.

I know your heart is hurting, The words we left unsaid
I love you left unspoken, Are spinning in your head.
The strength that I have carried,That served to make you whole remains to make you stronger,Within your grieving soul.

For you see, while you were weeping On the day I passed away At the grave site near the flowers, Where my loved ones knelt to pray.

An angel came to see me, She took me by the hands
She led me to a kingdom, In a very distant land. As I look down from the heaven, And see you standing there Your heart so ever burdened, With more weight than it can bear.

I long to bring you comfort, I long to give you peace
I long to hold you closely, Cause all your tears to cease
The joy I've found in heaven, Goes far beyond compare
The love that's so elusive, Can be found here everywhere.
The light is softly shining, There's no storm clouds here, or rain.

There's no teardrops found in heaven,There's no suffering, there's no pain!..You needn't be so troubled, Stay close to God and pray

That someday we'll be together, One bright and glorious day!! So my love, you shouldn't question, My dear you need not cry, I've gone to be with Jesus!! I really didn't die!!!!
