Mr. Creel,
We never had the opportunity to know you personally. However we do know your daughter, Michelle. Knowing her we know that you were a terrific individual and brought love and value to all of those in your life. Michelle is a dear and wonderful young lady.
Sincerely,
Gary Beam (K4EXT) and Family

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.
