In My Pocket
I have many memories in my pocket. They rattle around like change.
My memories of you are treasures I will carry wherever I go. They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of an unfinished whole.
They give me comfort when I think upon them while I am alone with them. I look forward to the day when we can make some more memories together.

Carmen, Jennifer, and Timothy
I wish that I could be there with you to comfort you and help to give you strength during the days to come. Although I may not physically be there I am there in spirit. With all the ways that the Lord has provided us to communicate, I stand ready on the other end of the line to listen to you, minister to you, and cry with you.

My biggest comfort is that God has given Raymond a new heavenly body, that is whole and beautiful and that he sits beside our Mother whom likewise is made new, and they stand watch over us until it is our time to join them in heaven.
Love Ralph, Julie, Jeffrey, Yvonne, and Danielle Hoover
