With the time I've known Kathy, She was a tough, strong lady just like her mother. She was a trooper! I enjoyed talking with her. She put everyone elses needs first before her own. She was a Beautiful Lady, inside and out. God Bless you Kathy, and your family....

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.
