DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP

 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 sunlight 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 circled flight.
 I am the soft stars that shine at night.
 Do not stand at my grave and cry;
 I am not there. I did not die.
	 - Mary Elizabeth Frye (1905-2004)

PINSENT, Graham Philip - 20, Dartmouth, passed away peacefully Easter Sunday morning, March 31, 2002, after a courageous battle with a lifelong illness. He was a son of Tom Pinsent, Halifax and Libby Pinsent, Dartmouth. He is survived by younger sister, Sarah; older brother, Brian Kean, Gander, Nfld.; fondly loved and remembered by both sets of grandparents in Newfoundland; a large circle of aunts, uncles and cousins living throughout Canada. He was an enthusiastic board member of the provincial Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Youth Project and was also actively involved with Youth Net 2001. He will always be remembered for his selfless approach to his own illness and his generosity and cheerfulness towards his friends. He truly loved people, classical music and computers, (the order of which varied daily!). Sincere appreciation to all the health professionals at the VG Site, QEII, Medical Day Unit, Unit 4.1, The New Infirmary, QEII and The VG Site, 7A Palliative Care Unit.
