Everyday that goes by i think of you and the great memories i have with you!! Words can not describe the love i always had for you and always will! One of my favorite memories are of you pulling into my drive way beeping your horn with your convertable top down and the radio turned up so high Everyone on the srteet know you were here. And you taking me on adventure's all around town!! Driving around with you all day and always getting lost are some of the best memories i have as a kid. Being with you was my favorite place to be. It did not matter where or what we were doing just spending time with you was amazing!! I can't wait for the day we get to meet up again so i can see your face and tell you I LOVE YOU!!! love you your lil angel Tiffany lynne

My visions of your mother for the first time was when your father brought her to our house to meet your Aunt Aggie (my mom). She was beautifully dressed in a black skirt and a red and white top and I remember thinking what a beautiful woman. She always open her home and her heart to me. She would bring you kids over to play with my sister Susie. What a great listener,she reminded me of Aunt Lil. I miss her and think of her often. Wish I could be with you during this time of loss. My love is with you.

To Our Friend Abbey Koerner & Family: You can only have one grandmother, patient kind and true; No other friend in all the world, will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you, To grandmother you will return, for all her loving kindness, she asks nothing in return. As your look upon her picture, Sweet memories recalled, Of a face so full of sunshine, And a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message, To your dear grandmother up above; Tell her how we miss her, And give her all our love.

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.
