My dear Billy-Boy: Although you may not have understood in your last days, know that I loved you-more than you knew- and will always love you. I miss you more with every passing day and know in my heart that you loved me. I did the very best I could and I am comforted to know that you are now out of your terrible pain and are with your God, your parents and, perhaps, my Denny and Ronny. I miss your smile for that is what won me over and allowed you into my heart; no other man has been there since I lost my Denny, and you will always be there....I even miss your pony-tail! I will remember you when I am in "your aisle" at Home Depot and it will be difficult to work there without you; Jimmy Dean and I will share our fond memories and laugh a little.....Love always and forever, P.

To the entire Finkle family and my dear friend Budward,
I am so sorry for your loss. Although words can't begin to describe the pain you must be feeling I am praying for your whole family. I remember Tinker from our partying days. He was wild, free and full of life. Now he goes home to rest and to be with your mom in Heaven. God Bless you all.

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.
