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.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

As time has passed it has not gotten easier for me. Not a day goes by that i don't miss you and the laughs and cries that we shared. I will never know love they way that u loved me, unconditionally. We had our ups and our downs but as you always said the good far out weighed the bad. I remember the first day that we met and the promises that you made that u always kept. You always had my back no matter. My love for you will last forever, you will always be in my heart.

To my fallen friend and brother. We shared many good & bad times together. We had our differnces but we always worked them out. We have a special crew and special relationships. We did everything together and the things we diidn't, we told each other about it. Growing up with you thru childhood to adulthood has been a blessing. From the time you rode your bike pass the house and came back crying because someone jacked you at the corner. I remember my uncles sped off to try to catch the guys...

God saw that the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, He gently closed his loving eyes and whispered "Peace be thine." The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless nights are passed. The ever-patient, worn-out frame, has found sweet peace at last. Tony not one day will go by that you will not be thought of with a smile, with love or with a sigh. We are sad that this day has come, but we promise that this wil not be good-bye, just a simple... "We Will Meet Again." ...

To My Brother & My Friend
Words could never express what I am feeling as I sit here and try to sign your guest book, a special place in my heart died with you Tony. But I am so grateful for the memories that I have of the times that we spent together that I will forever cherish. I am just so thankful to God for bringing us into one another's lives. You were my first friend upon my arrival in NJ and you remained a true and dear until the end. We were there for the one another during the...

Uncle/Daddy Tony
May your soul rest in peace. Thank you so much for all the love you showed me from the first day that you looked at me and we developed that special bond. I will always be your little girl. Thank you so much Uncle Tony for all that you did for my mommy because without your love and encouragement she probably would not be person that she is today. Forever loving you.

I do not remember a time I did not know or love Edwin (Farod) Brooks. I have been truly blessed to have shared so many wonderful memories.

From childhood to adulthood, he was funny, loving and a great friend. I will miss him dearly and think of him often.

May God bless and keep the Brooks and Spearmint Family.

Love,
