Shorty. Connie Critzer told me about your dad's passing and sent me his obituary. It has been a long time since I've seen him (or you for that matter) but I remember his as a good father and nice person. I know you have wonderful memories to keep him near to your heart.

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.
