I am so sorry for your loss. Sadly, I never met Mr. Kersey, however, I felt as though I knew him through stories that Mary has shared through the years. I know how much you loved him and how much you will miss him, may the memories you have help you get through this difficult time.

Mr. Kersey,
Sir, I didn't know you but as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USMC during WW II and the Korean War. It was the history and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines back then that all of us Marine who followed in your footsteps have always tried to live up to. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

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.

I'm sorry for your loss. I loved Frank! I know he's there with my mom and they're sitting back making fun of us for being sad.
