Know you are not alone and God is always with you even in the darkest hour. Let His loving arms encircle ech of you and give you comfort as only He can. Pat will forever be in your heart which means no matter what his memory will forever live on.
I love you all and will be here for you.

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.
