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.

Chance/Wentworth,
I was looking and searching for words to say but it's tough at a time of loss. I want you to know that both Jeff and I are thinking about you, praying for you, and hoping everything will be ok. I'll just share this one thing someone told me a long time ago....

Keep them memories close and know that as long as your heart beats you'll know she's still there.

If you need either of us you know what to do!

The family of my cousin Pat,

I am deeply sadden for the loss of my favorite cousin. We grew up together, sharing sleep overs at each others houses and Mama and Papa's. We idolized The Osmond's and went to their concerts. We played together as children and as teenagers and you baby sit for me and became a wonderful Aunt to Samatha and Jennifer.

I will miss you and your laughter and all the great times we had together. Those are only a few of the memories that I will always cherish. There are too many to list. I will carry these memories with me always.

God be with you and our family through this difficult time and give all of us the strength to survive our loss.

Love you forever,

Dear Chance,
I only recently met Pat, but in those brief moments, it became very obvious that she was a very special woman. Even in her illness, she amazed me with her bright smile and positive spirit.
She was an impressive woman and I’m so sorry for your loss.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To my best friend,

You and I have been through alot together over the years. We laughed and cried together, we shared good times and bad times as well. I still cannot believe that you are gone. i will always remember the good time we had together a few weeks ago. you were laughing and having a great time and I was fortunate to be a part of that with you. I will always love you and remember your smiling face. God has taken you home to be with him but that doesn't mean we will ever forget you. You are and were my best friend. Your loving cousin Karen.
