Joyce, I am so very sorry to have read of Mark's passing. I have thought of him ofter since my dads passing. I am very glad that they were roomies and that our families paths crossed, if only for a short time. Please take care of yourself and give Bella kisses for me. If there is anything my family and I can do please let me know. After things settle, maybe we can meet for coffee or lunch sometime. Take care...Lisa Boehm

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.
