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.

Everyone in our Family
must be experiencing
so many different emotions right now,
from the pain of losing Cathy,
who we all loved,
along with our pain,
is the comfort that comes in
knowing that Cathy
Is no longer suffering.
...and that somehow,
in some small way,
that makes a difference
And brings Everyone some peace.
She will be sadly missed by all!!

"Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you always used to. Put no difference in your tone; wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effort, no trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, somewhere very near. Just around the corner. All is well."
- Henry Scott Holland (1847 - 1918) Canon of St Paul's, London

To Nikki, Danny and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time in your lives.
I was fortunate to meet Cathy at the impressionable age of fourteen and I knew then that my life had changed. She was a mother and a best friend to me and taught me how to consider and how to care about things that had never mattered before. At times it seemed her home cooked meals, laughter and friendship were all I needed to feel happy and secure at a time in my life when I really didn’t quite know who I was yet. She became a constant and took me under her wing as though I was her own and I know there are so many other people whom she treated the same way. Her tendency to be a mother to everyone and support those who needed it the most has made an immeasurable effect on my life and on how I mother my own children. I will forever keep her memory living within me and wish nothing but peace and glory for her soul.
Daniel,
I can only thank you for bringing her into my life and hope that you know and feel my constant love and support for all your life has in store.
Nickesha,
The privilege I have to be one of your best friends has been an honor and I look forward to helping you continue to bring the love and legacy that was your mother to all that did and did not know her.
“May the angels who protected you
throughout your earthly stay
remain with you and comfort you
with gentle love, we pray.
May your spirit soar with the angels
to your heavenly reward and
dwell through all eternity
in the presence of the Lord.”
With love,
Lori

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
