Irene Valdez

1940-2019

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 light on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you waken in the morning hush, 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.

Arrangements are being handled by the caring professionals at the Noblin Funeral Service Belen Chapel, 418 W. Reinken Ave., 864-4448, where an online guest register and Service times will be available at noblin.com.
