I had a very twilight-zone feeling when I read that poem. It seemed so familiar. I looked through my collection of quotes and have the very same one. The copy in my folder is not attributed but it's prefaced with "Cremation for me - ashes to be buried among my animal friends on the property. Actually, I'd rather have the "Buzzard Funeral", my daughter wrote the following poem, which expresses my feelings exactly." What a small world!

Not sure if you found this site during your search (see the link), but she posted the lyrics on the website. Her last post was from the Summer, but I think you can contact her. She may know something. I'm still looking... The words are so insprirational and beautiful - Good Luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Ama Walker

This was sent to me by a friend who she and her DH are Army retired. Her DH is not happy with being retired and is scheduled to go back to either Iraq OR Afghanistan. She will stay homeside, to raise their daughter. Gosh bless her and her family! They are in their late 20's.

I love it.I am so thankful my 15 yr old son is a good kid. MOM Shelley
