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.

Terry Newton

January 13, 2011

To the Habersham Family;

A precious one from us is gone;
A voice we love is stilled.
A place is vacant in our heart,
Which never can be filled.
And after a lonely heartache,
And a many silent tear,
But always a beautiful memory,
Of one we love so dear.

To the Habersham Family:

We pray for God to massage your hearts. I got the news today and I was reminded, I brought your aunt/ my mom, Rosa Lee over, as she sat with your mom, as she passed.
I was always so humbly impressed how Ruthie Mae and all of Aunt Ruth's children were so loving. It says a lot for your mom raising you all to be great.
I'll never forget how she always walked you all home from school, faithfully.
We regret, we cannot make the services. Duane is on a business tour in Naples Italy.
