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 very sorry for your loss. Billy was such an incredible person that could brighten up any room with his presence. I am deeply saddened that Jayden had such a short time with his father. Billy has left a lasting impression on many people, he wanted everyone to just have a good time and he made everything fun, for this we all have wonderful memories. He is unforgettable and will be forever missed. I hope with the support of family, friends, and the many memories of him, that they can help you through this difficult time.

I am truly sorry for your loss, no parent should have to bare the loss of a child nor should a brother. Billy has left us all with wonderful memories. In time these memories will bring us comfort. He is watching over everyone whose life he touch.
