Fond memories of a wonderful lady

Tina Close

November 18, 2007

I will always remember her smile and her laugh. She was always trying to pull a prank on someone. At mine and Lorne's wedding she put the veil on him and at the reception she had me get up and we put the garter on my brother while she blindfolded Lorne. There usually wasn't a dull moment whenever she was around. He didn't fall for it though. Mom, I love and miss you. Can't wait to see you again. Hank, thank you for sharing this with me. I know this is going to be a rough road to say the least but hang in there. It gets easier with time. Thank God for that! Love ya!

I know you have already heard this many times in the last few days, but I too, am sorry for your loss. I know it has been years since I have seen many of you, but please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything I can do.

I sincerely am sorry for your loss. I understand the pain of a loss from a tragic accident which I lost my father to one. It is very painful and shocking. Deanna would come into Johnston's with her husband and eat. I would have the pleasure to wait on them from time to time. She was very outgoing, friendly I enjoyed talking with her. My thoughts are with the family at this time.

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.

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.
