Dear Mr. D., Doug, Steve, and Dana, I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. I have such fond memories of Mrs. D – from her constant smile to her gentle scolding of Doug. There was always a loving, gentle, calmness about her – no matter what the challenge.

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.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers and I wish I could make the services,but my thoughts are there. Take comfort in knowing she is in a better place now and with Bobby watching over their loved ones.My thoughts and prayers are with your Dad too,How he must miss her!

Pat was a wonderful neighbor on Pond Street. When I was a little girl, I made her a paperweight from a rock and she raved about it, which made me feel special. She was so elegant and gracious. Mom and I would sit with her and have tea and chit chat. Wonderful memories forever.

One of my fondest memories growing up was our trips to Canobie Lake Park. Rob, Jeff, Heath, and I (the first wave of grandchildren) would pile in the car and spend the day riding the rides. Great fun, great memories!

God bless you, and God bless Grampy.
