Tom,
You taught me how to dance and how to laugh at the funny things you would say.I will miss you dearly.
I was hoping we would have one last dance together but it will have to wait a while. You are now back with Minna and I know you are both very happy.
Goodby dear friend. Lee

You never said "I'm leaving"
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why


A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If Love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died


In Life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill


It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.



*******************

I Loved and will miss you dearly.
From the grand-daughter who loved you for her entire life

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.
