Julia's Poem:
Weep not for me when I an Gone
For I have ties in the great beyond.
It's only my body I have left behind.
Left for a better place to rest.
I am me. No body to drag around.
A better way I have found.
A spirt can ride the waves of air
and listen in on those who care.
I am not dead. Just transformed.
