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.

Dear Mr. Johnny, Miss. Julie, Johnny and Jennifer,

I thank God I have the fondest memories of Jake in my mind forever, so I can talk to him and God anytime I need to. I/we will miss him and your entire family living beside me and my family.

Jake's big smile and his energy will be so loved and missed in so many ways. He, besides my sister, is the only person I've ever had to chase, retreive and carry him home when takes off outside with out his cloths on. Jake was so little when he first got on my sister Courtney's big yellow 4-wheeler. We were laughing so hard, in amazement, when he took off and could actually drive it around in circles in front of our houses. He was so smart and dertermined he could even drive Jennifer's little red go-cart that goes really fast. Everytime I saw Jake nextdoor he was like a burst of sunshine with his blonde hair and big smiles ready to play ball on the front lawn like the big boys.

From the minute you told my class at Riverbend that you were going to have baby is the second that I/we started to love Jake. In my class picture you are pregnant with him. I will miss him so much. I just want to throw him a ball one more time. Courtney still looks over to your house expecting to see Jake and you all playing outside with your mom working on the yard pulling weeds waiting for Mr. Johnny to come home so we can play on the back of his big red truck.

We tell her Jake is already in heaven and we will look up and find his cute little face in the shapes of the clouds on beautiful sunny days.

My family will forever in our hearts treasure the fondest memories of baby Jakie-boy. Please know that Jake and you guys will always be deep in our hearts and prayers always. I"m sure he is the most beautiful little angel in heaven.

I love Jake and your family so much. I miss him so much. He and all of you are in my thoughts and prayers all day. I am so sorry to see your family in such sorrow. My hugs to you mean so much more than a hug. Jake is in my heart forever.

The loss of a child is the hardest part in life that no one should have to experience. It is unfair and devistating, But,your son is not lost, he has gone to be with god. As unfair as it sounds he has been called and is now serving a purpose, for a reasons we don't understand yet. He is and will be with you each and every day forever. In memory, spirit, love and thoughts. My prayers and deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
