With husband Cyrus B. Packard
Daughter Anna Martha Packard Brigham
One of the only stones still standing of our family at north cem. Rest have been vadalized Then I tried to fix them then Broke again . Also Mother to William , cyrus V.
Married 1831

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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning 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 weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
