To Blake And His Loving Family And His Closest Friends

I'm sorry for the loss.
You're missed dearly Blake, and although you may have been hurting, I don't think you know how badly others are hurting simply for the loss of you.
Blake, we all miss you.
You have affected everyone that you've ever crossed paths with.
You've been at least line on one page in everyone's internal book, and even though you've burned a hole there, the memory of you still lingers on in that book exactly where it belongs.
Sadly, though, you've left unfinished chapters for some, and thoughs chapters will never be finished. They will just be left with an unfinished ending. A blank.
But, they will eventually start a new page, a new chapter, and finish their book of life, but you will always be a part of it, forever.
Blake, I hope that you're better now at least.
I hope that some day, we will meet again.
I have faith that you're watching everyone right now, watching over them, and holding them dearly.
No one will ever let go of you.
You'll always be in our hearts.
Far well Blake
See you later.
Tricia Lynne "Ferk" Dickau

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.
