I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. It's been many years since I've seen her, but I have many good memories of her. She and my late mother, Phyllis Majkut, were friends since high school.

I am so sorry to hear about Peg's passing. While it sounds like it was her time, and clearly she is in a better place, it's often hard to let those we love dearly move on. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Much love,

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 Love you Mrs D...I'm happy your in a better place.
Love Heather
