May the love of God continue to give you peace and faith. May the memories of Mr. Stewart, the people he touched in his life be a reminder of the kind and loving person he was. I never got the opportunity to meet him, but spoke with him several times on the phone. He was so kind and understand and I regret I missed knowing him and my husband's only living uncle. I will always cherish our conversations. Rest in peace Mr. Stewart. Family keep the Faith.

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.
