I will never forget Mrs. DesChamps kind words and sweet smile during my years on camp staff. We were just talking about her at an OA weekend. Scouting loved her. God Bless.

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.

Dear Sweet Lady you are truly missed. I will miss your get up and go anywhere attitude!! Your smile lit up a room... the little sayings you come up with you sure had a pocket full of them....I look out and around to see if i could see you. And I still see you everywhere...We Love you. Sleep with the Angels!! Its time for you to rest. No more worries, heart aches, or pain for you now its only rest.

With Love Always,
Margaret & Fred Chaplin
