When tradedy strikes, it is devastating. I am very sorry for the lost that you have suffered. The greatest comfort that can be given comes from God's son at Matthew chapter 11 verses 28-30. All of you please allow Jesus's words here to comfort your hearts at this time. May His love and tender mercies be with you always.

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.
