Daniel S. Nardo

My deepest sympathy to your famliy
It was about a few years ago that I met Dan. I felt that we had something in common (ponds). I would come over and we would be out by the koi pond talking about plants, pond and fish.

He was someone that I felt very close to.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...

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

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.
