Obituary of David Jones

Update: 12/12/2013 Dearest Big Brother, Uncle, Brother-In-Law, Friend, Happy Birthday! Love you so much and miss you everyday. It is a challenge to find the sunshine and remember the JOY, but I can and I will. I know you want me to. Here is something I found to read to you: 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 sun 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 circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there;I did not die. I'm as free as the wind that makes the leaves quiver And as alive as the water that rushes down the river So do not miss me Because I am not gone I'm with you like the stars that shine until dawn So please Do not stand beside my grave and cry Because I am not there I have not died My memory lives on I am Alive Be free wherever you are, Love, Jen FULL OBITUARY: David Michael Jones, 48, formerly of Montclair, N.
