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.

My Dear Friend Shari & Families,
Words I say cannot heal your broken hearts. I know that wonderful Memories can heal your hearts. I loved Mom too, she was a sweet person who had a big heart and I always remember her as smiling. She would treat me like I was her daughter. I remember when I would go over your house when we were young and she would ask how things were and how the family was doing. I wanted to stay longer and visit with her cause I felt she just wanted to chat with us, but we were young and wanted to be with our friends.. She will always be my friend and I know she's smiling down watching you all. She loved you and you were blessed to have her as a Mother... Now she's with Jesus and what better place to be. :) Shari I'm here for ya friend anytime you need me. Love to you Mrs. Hart and Shari & families Love Paula, & Johnson Families

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his loving arms around you,
and whispered "Come to me".

With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

Be At Peace.I Wish Love and Peace for your Loved Ones.

To My Beautiful, Strong, & Loving Mom:
Mere words cannot express how much I Love You & will Miss You!
My heart hurts with sadness & the tears won't stop.
You had an endless supply of love it seemed & happily shared it with everyone. You were "Ma" to so many. And you were so loved.
You fought hard through all the pain & through it all you never complained.
So strong, so courageous, gentle, kind & compassionate. Such a devoted & loving mother. We were so blessed to have such a wonderful gift. Thank You for all the sacrifices you made for your children & the wisdom you bestowed upon us.
Thank You Mom for always listening & caring, for giving & sharing, but Especially for just being YOU!
I will forever cherish all the happy memories of our good times together. We will always be connected by our strong bond of Love.
You will be missed terribly and will NEVER be Forgotten!
~~~~~~~~YOU TRUELY WERE AN ANGEL ON EARTH~~~~~~~~
