"We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
And the days before that, too.

We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.

Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part.

God has you in His Keeping.
We have you in our Heart."

Sumer and Family, you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

Dear Sumer and Family, I am so sorry about Emilys passing. God saw her struggle and he heard her cry and wrapped his arms around her so she didnt have to cry anymore.. I do know the pain that you are going through and my words can never express the sorrow i feel for you and yours..May God Bless you and your family through this very tough time...

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;

To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

John -- she is gone, but she was with you for a while. Remember the good things. "Tis better to have loved, than never to have loved at all."

God is always with you, you are never alone.

I am a friend of Martha and John's and I just want you all to know how sorry I am for your great loss. It is so hard to let go of someone we love dearly. Only God knows why Emily had to die so young. And only God can provide you with the strength and comfort you need at this most difficult time. You are in my prayers. May God bless you with what you need.

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
