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 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.

Rest with God Mr. Tonkin. Prayers of comfort for amon, Matthew & all who knew & loved him. We were enriched by knowing you.

Like many have said here, I will echo ... Mr. Tonkin was part of the heart and soul of these FreeRepublic Boards. Rest in Peace, sir, and know that many here admired you greatly.
Salute.

I never met him face to face. I wish I did. We connected via the internet. I feel beyond privileged to have done just that.

This American hero will be missed...

So sorry to hear of Tonk's passing. It's hard to do, but we are actually supposed to rejoice at this time because Tonk's new home is with God.

Our homeland is in heaven - Philippians 3:20

Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. - Matthew 5:12

Tonk was a good man, a wonderful FReeper, and has been and will continue to be greatly missed.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. - Matthew 5:4
