Dear Cyn and Family,

I am so sorry for your sadness and your losss of "Auntie". I always felt like I knew "Auntie" and loved the stories her dear Cynthia shared with her friends in the Bookstore. The fact that she wore high heel shoes and well into her eighties, and saved all of her hats and gloves, "she is my kind of woman". Cynthia I loved to hear you mimick how she talked with her accent and always in a very proper way...she was quite a beautiful woman. She volunteered reading to children and was very social...what a wonderful person. I see that her dear Cynthia has inherited some of her wonderful traits, as helping others and always there to lend a helping hand. Her friendship lasts forever. Beautiful ladie(s)!! My prayers and kind thoughts are with you and your family. Keep the precious memories close to your heart and she will remain with you forever. Everyone isn't as lucky as you to have had a loving aunt/friend to share beautiful memories. I love you. Your dear friend, Janice XO's

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.
