BIRTHDAYS IN PARADISE
Are you celebrating Casey?
In a land so far away?
Did the Angels wake you sweetie,
and take you out to play?
Will the Angels decorate your cake?
Will they sing your favorite song?
Will you know how much we miss you?
And know our love for you is strong.
Will you catch our love and kisses?
That we send while at your grave?
Forever in our hearts... Our great "Atlanta Brave"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET CASEY
We miss you so...
Love you Mom and Guy, Dad and Sue, Ricci, Lori and Kids

DO NOT STAND BY MY GRAVE AND WEEP.
I AM NOT THERE.
I DO NOT SLEEP.
I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW;
I AM A DIAMOND GLINT ON THE SNOW;
I AM 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 GRAVE AND CRY.
I AM NOT THERE.....I DID NOT DIE.....
