Lord our God, You are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Jerry was suddenly taken from us. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family and friends by the power and protection of the cross. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Jim, my thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.

It's so hard to understand the cruel twists and turns of fate.
Some things in life are rotten and unfair, if they weren't you would be standing there.
I know life doesn't last forever, but yours was cut way to short without rhyme, reason, or logic.
Life must go on as it always has before, but you'll always be with us yesterday, now, and forever more.

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.
