We are all just passing time and occupy our chair very briefly. The time I had with Melba was a gift. Everyone who knew her was blessed and made better for the relationship. In short Melba occupied her chair so very well ...

Do not stand by my grave and weep,

 I am not there, I do not sleep.

 I am the thousand winds that blow,

 I am the diamond glints in the snow.
