Mary and family,

I will always treasure the memories of the smiles, the waves and the conversations that I had from/with Mr. Rossi....a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather. May he rest in peace.

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.
