If this is the same Laverne Sereno that worked at Turn*Style Family center in the mid to late 1970's, I am saddened by her passing. I just happened to be thinking about her today, and what a lovely lady she was. Always with a smile and a happy thought. She will be missed. God Speed, Red.

Laverne, You were a loving woman and always glowed with warmth and class. I loved you dearly and will keep those great memories we all shared close to my heart. Rest in Peace, dear lady and know you have left a special place in many hearts. You'll always be loved and missed by all the lives you've touched.

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.
