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.

I have worked with Natalia for many years. First at Creative Silk Screen and then at Bergstrom for 14yrs. I remeber when I first realized that she worked there(Bergstrom)....We were doing inventory and she would let out this howl around the corner from were i was working the place was silent because everyone was counting and all we heard was this Howling from around the corner everyone just bursted out laughing...she always had that way about her.. I'm going to miss you my friend!

Kate, you did everything you could do to allow Natalia to die at home srrounded by her well-loved pets. No one could have done more or taken better care of her.

*My heart goes out to Kate and all of Natalia's family and friends in this time of sorrow. I only got the pleasure of knowing her within the past few months, caring for her at OSF, however, in those few months she has managed to engrave a special place in my heart and I am proud to call her a friend. ~~~Now your home sweetheart, God bless you...~~~
