She was always full of smiles and just so cute. It's good memories to hold onto through my life. God Bless each of you at this time.

I have only heard of stories of my Great Aunt Viola, having never had the pleasure of meeting her...Her life is an inspiration and a piece of my own story. I wish all of you close to her, comfort and serenity as you deal with the grief that is left behind.

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.
