The personal part of the dedication: " In Loving memory of an extraordinary woman Victoria Stiles (11-11-2014) Milan Croata"
The dedication quotes the poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye
"Do not stand at my grave and weep
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 circling flight.
I am the soft star-shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die."
