Marie, There are so many things I will miss about you. I will miss walking into your room and asking you what my name is and you always respond with the right answer. When I stood you up and you would "drop the bombs" and chuckle like crazy. I would call your name when I wealked into your room, and give you eskimo kisses and your face would light up. Oh Marie I will miss you so. And to Doug, Tina, and Jeanne, you are the most wonderful of your children and cared for your mother soo much!! She is your guardian angel now and watching over you all & taking care of you. You are all in my prayers, God Bless.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

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.
