Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
Until we meet again!

Chester was one of the best aides we had in our company (Home Recovery of Virginia). He was dedicated to us and to the clients he served. He was professional and caring, a wonderful combination. We will miss him but treasure the years he worked with us.

God saw you getting tired, a cure not meant to be, so he wrapped his arms around you and whispered "Come with me"

I will cherish the memories.......

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.
