Dear Linda, Brandon, Debbie and family members

I just read my emails today and my cousin Val MacKenzie let me know about the passing of Aunt Edna.

I have memories of Aunt Edna visiting dad and Amilda in Cape Breton Nova Scotia along with her sister Mary Anne and Linda and Brandon. She certainly loved family gatherings. I'm so glad that she had her 90th birthday surrounded by her loved ones.

She is with the rest of her brothers and sisters now and you have so many memories that you can cherish.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this hard time.

Your cousin Sheila Marie Clarke, daughter of Edna's brother Michael Aloysius MacKenzie

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
