To the Sousa Family,
Yes it is a time of sorrow; but what I have gathered in knowing Agnes, was that she accepted the cross the Lord chose for her and she could carry that cross because she had FAITH. It is now up to you to follow her example of such Faith to see you through this difficult time. Although she is gone from this world, you know she lives on in the light of Christ and it is in knowing this that your comfort lies.

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.
