We lost our dear friend Donna Stader on Wednesday January 18, 2012
Donna was elegant, witty, regal, an artist, poet and friend.
We will cherish the memories we have of her and never forget
I will miss you my friend....

Do not stand on my grave
and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that
blow,
I am a diamond glint of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened
grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awake in the
morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight,,
I am the soft starshine at night.

Do not stand by my grace
and cry,
I am not there...I did not die.

Style a poem by Donna Stader

Style

Signifying you
Significant to you
Proclaiming your hand.

Flare, panache
The je n'sais qua
Of individuality.

Unique perception
New perspective
Bold approach
Continuity, recognition,
Ideas pursued
Expanded.

Death in life:
Answered questions
Habitual technique.

Abandon security!
Clear new ground
Proceed with style.
