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...

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.

Jose and I went to high school together at Mayfield. I hadnt seen him since. But I do remember a kind, funny and good natured person. I am sorry to hear of his passing. I extend my prayers to his family and my God be with you.

A Poem To Joe ~This is the day
You are finally free
But a day eventually
Everyone will see
The door swung open
And then you stepped through
Leaving a useless body
Taking away the inner you
And if you look back now
You'll see everything is your past
Leaving others caged behind
Knowing these times would never last
This was your time to say goodbye
And go into your everlasting sleep
But memories are always there to comfort
When in our souls we...
