Ev,

You always carried candy for the children and this poem reminded me of how much they look forward to your candy.
Know that we are there with you in spirit.
We are thankful for the friendship you & Gladys have shared with us.

In My Pocket

We have memories in our pocket.
They rattle among the change.

Our memories of you and Gladys are treasures we carry wherever we go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give us comfort when we think we are alone.

Yes, we have memories in our pocket, like so much other stuff we keep there.

But of all the treasures we have, it’s the memories of you and Gladys that are the most precious.
