Dedicated to a friend who just lost a loved one...

From Patch Adams movie:

Hunter Patch Adams:

Death. To die. To expire. To pass on. To perish. To peg out. To push up

daisies. To push up posies. To become extinct. Curtains, deceased,

Demised, departed And defunct. Dead as a doornail. Dead as a herring.

Dead as a mutton. Dead as nits. The last breath. Paying a debt to

nature. The big sleep. God's way of saying, "Slow down."

Bill Davis:

To check out.

Hunter Patch Adams:

To shuffle off this mortal coil.

Bill Davis:

To head for the happy hunting ground.

Hunter Patch Adams:

To blink for an exceptionally long period of time.

Bill Davis:

To find oneself without breath.

Hunter Patch Adams:

To be the incredible decaying man.

Bill Davis:

Worm buffet.

Hunter Patch Adams:

Kick the bucket.

Bill Davis:

Buy the farm.

Hunter Patch Adams:

Take the cab.

Bill Davis:

Cash in your chips.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there, I do not sleep

I am a 1,000 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 light

I am the soft star that shines at night

Do not stand at my grave and cry

I am not there; I did not die.

I live in your heart.
