Tina, Ricky, and Kevin--though your mom and I only met once in person we talked to each other over the phone often for about eight years.


She described her love for all of you, as well as her special and endearing love for Casey.

Casey: you brought such joy to your grandma's life. More than you can ever realize. And boy did your laugh make her laugh!

Johnny: Your aunt appreciated the things you did around the house for her so much. She really did, and she did love you.

You are all in my heart and prayers at this difficult time.



Eternal rest grant unto her, lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she 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.
