My sincere thoughts and prayers are with all the Doherty family. I was very sad to hear this morning that Papa Jim has passed away. I was planning on calling him, but didn't get round to it in time. May he rest in peace. Joan and Mary will be looking after him now. God Bless you all. Love, roseina and all the Barr family.

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.
