Jaime and family I am so sorry for your loss, I will pray for the Lord to embrace you all and give you all the strengnth you need to deal with your loss. Jamie keep this in mind: Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. The lord is with you and will comfort you while your grandpa is in heaven rejoicing with our heavenly father Jesus Christ. I love you girl. Anything you need let me know. .... Rosemary.

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.

Love you always, Grandaddy
