We just wanted to say, Rest in Peace Aunt Joann. We will think of you often.



I don't think we have ever been to a wedding, shower or family gathering and you were not there.



May God bless you.



I know you are up in heaven dancing with Aunt Ruth!

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.
