God saw that you were tired and a cure was not to be found. So he put his arms around you and whispered come home now. With tearful eyes we watched you suffer and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. Your golden heart stopped beating and your lungs stopped breathing. Your determined spirit is now at rest. God broke our hearts to prove that he only takes the best.
May God be with you Krystal!!!!

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.
