Dear Janie, I think of you and our time together as little ones. It was magical. Remember the milk, cheese, egg & snack man in his delivery truck?! I loved spending time in your home with you and Patty and your family and your mom could handle anything and with a smile. Janie, I´d love for us to connect. You are in my happy thoughts, Heather

Dear Meehans,

I was so sorry to hear of Dottie's passing. She was a wonderful woman, always with an open smile and open arms. I met your wife/Mother when I first moved to Norwell 34 years ago. She always was an inspiration and so warm. We at St Helen's will miss her dearly.

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.
