May our thoughts and prayers be with each of you at this time. As a child, I always remembered when Aunt Viola would come to visit in VA at my Grandmother's house. She was always full of smiles and just so cute. It's good memories to hold onto through my life. God Bless each of you at this time.

I have only heard of stories of my Great Aunt Viola, having never had the pleasure of meeting her...Her life is an inspiration and a piece of my own story. I wish all of you close to her, comfort and serenity as you deal with the grief that is left behind.

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.

I remember the chickens, Cheryl's pony and especially the flower garden. God Bless everyone!
