To the Sweeney Family: My oldest and dearest Family friends from Olney and Prospect Street. I have many fond thoughts and memories that go way back to the old neighborhood in the 1950's. I remember you Dennis, very well even though you were much younger than the gang. You were always so cheerful and happy to be with. I shall remember you always, dear friend. You and your family will be remembered in my prayers.

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.
