Not sure what to say?

Uncle Bubba ! Still think of you all the time the the good memories we shared. You always had a way to make me laugh.
Please tell my sister Linda , my 2 brothers, Ron & Gary that I love them and miss them so much, I miss you all sooo much and I know someday I will see them,,

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.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
I miss you uncle Bubba, I can still see the smile and laughter when we use to hear the jokes you use to tell us. You'll always be in my heart forever.
Your Niece
