This is with my deepest condolences for the Family of Katie McKenzie. I was saddened when my sister, whom resides in Virginia and knows that I graduated from Southside High School with Katie, called with the news and later shared the obituary with me via e-mail. May God grant you peace during this time!

To the family of the late Rev Miss Katie Lou McKenzie...I was deeply sorry, when my sister called me a couple days ago, to announce the departure of Rev McKenzie's spirit from this world below. She (Rev McKenzie) was very special to me and my family. Rev McKenzie was my math instructor, guidance counselor, and friend...Rev. McKenzie will be wonderfully missed in the Pittsylvania County, Va community and as Pastor of the Watson Level Missonary Baptist Church, Climax, Va.
God be with you all during this time.

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.
