To John's Family:
My family and I are so sorry for your loss. John was such a kind and honest man. Once he became my mechanic, I followed him each time he moved. He was worth traveling 25 to 30 miles for! John will always be remembered fondly, and he will be truly missed.

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.
