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.

I am so sorry to hear of Ryan's passing. I can still see him in my mind, working that grill at the DoNut Dinette!! He was a charming, polite, mannerly, funny young man. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet him when I did. The world is a lesser place w/out Ryan. Prayers and condolences to Sheila, Ashley, Ryan's Dad, Mr. Bill and the whole family.

What an awful tragedy it is to lose such a great guy. I will miss Ryan as I am sure everyone he touched will. It seems just like yesterday that he went to his first NASCAR race. My condolences go out to the family. May god be with you and I pray that you will get through this. I can tell you from my own personal experience that Ryan made a very un-selfish choice in choosing to be a donor. He will live for ever in the hearts of Life Net and the people that the donations help.
