Memories and Condolences

To the Isom/Waite/Griffin family,
Gina was such a wonderful, loving, gentle spirit with the fire of a tiger. She will be always remembered and sadly missed by all those who loved her. Gina came into my life in the past year and after being around her for so many years but not knowing and finally getting to know her I am truly grateful for God giving us the time he did. She is at peace now. No more pain, misery or suffering. Gina is free like a bird and she can spread her wings and fly.

To the Isom family, I saw Gina outside my window the day all this happened and I know there is nothing I could have done to make this not happen for the almighty makes no mistakes. Just know that I keep your family in my prayers and to Gina's son, your mom was a person that spread a lot of love and the love is shown through these pages. Take them and keep them in your thoughts as you try to cope with this devastating loss for she will be sadly 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.
