Jerry,

There was a time you were thought of as good friend, but that changed as the years passed and you became one of the family. You will truly be missed. Your friend always.

I dedicate this poem to Gerald:

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.

My dear friend you will be truly missed..
