TO RANDY, RODNEY AND MY BEST FRIEND KELLEY. I FEEL LIKE YOU GUYS ARE MY FAMILY TO. I THINK BACK TO THOSE DAYS WHEN WE ALL WENT TO SCHOOL TOGETHER, AND SOME DAYS I WOULD VIST YOU AT CAT'S HOUSE. WE WOULD SIT AROUND SING LAUGH AND TALK. I AM SURE WE GOT ON HER NERVES SOMETIMES BUT SHE ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL WELCOME. EVEN AFTER I GREW UP TO HAVE MY OWN FAMILY WHERE EVER I SAW CAT AT SHE WOULD ALWAYS LET ME KNOW THAT SHE HAD NOT FORGOT ME. I SAID ALL THAT TO SAY, THOSE ARE THE SIGNS OF A GOOD PERSON. SO YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CAT NO MORE SHE IS IN THE LOVING ARMS OF JESUS. SO GO AHEAD AND GET THE HURT OVER CAUSE YES IT DOES HURT. BUT GOD IS THERE TO COMFORT US, AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF US. I LOVE YOU ALL . BE STRONG IN THE LORD.

To the Jones Family:
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it?s the memories of you that are the most precious.
Aunt Cat you may not be here any more physically, but you will never be forgotten an will always be in my heart
