Jeffery Finn

With Christmas coming, I'm thinking of Jeff. It's still hard to believe he's gone. He was so kind and funny, he could make anyone laugh. I remember the stories he'd tell, most of them were true:). I know how much he loved you all. My prayers are with you as I'm sure this will be a difficult Christmas without him. But what memories he's left!

To the Finn Family,
Jeff will always hold a special place in our hearts. Whenever he was around you knew there would be laughter and te-heeeing going on. We were blessed to have known him and we sure will miss him. Love Always, the Spratley's.

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.

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.

When Barry was ill, Dad quoted this to me, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
