Please accept my sincerely sympathy in the loss of your brother. I went to school with both of you at Dyer Central and remember you and Ed fondly. He was a very nice guy and I'm sure he will be missed greatly by you and your entirely family. I just lost my husband so I know what grief really is all about and know what you are going through. I will pray for you.

My heart was saddened when I learned of your loss. Please remember that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
May God bless you and provide you with comfort in your time of sorrow.

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.
