I'm so sorry I couldn't be there. I'll always remember all of the love and the laughter we shared during my summer visits to Summerhill. We must've listened to the song "Temporary Secretary" a billion times. I love you always, gram.

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.

Aunt Mary at the Tully swing.

Even though you passed away, I know you are still here with us all. Time won't change the many memories created with you. Now you are in a better place, with your children you lost, your husband, and your family and friends. I love you grandma.<3
