Happy Belated Thanksgiving to you Bill and to your son Butch (Billy) and to your son Gene, he is up there with you now too. I couldn't find his obituary on here, not sure why. I know you are all doing well ..Keep a watch over Robin, she doesn't get around to well anymore... Danny stays with her now and young Billy just recently had an accident at his work, got his hand and arm messed up. Watch over all of your kids and grandkids. love and miss all of you.

Thinking of all his family at this time. We loved to stop and talk to Bill and compare notes on his garden and our's. He grew some really good tomatoes. Keep that garden flourishing up there.

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.
