Theresa...It is so hard for me to imagine not seeing you at the Salon, working away, chatting on your cell. I will never understand the meaning of death and the painful empty feeling that is brings. But, I think of the good times that we have had...The girls nights out, scrapbooking for hours, the State Fair with you and your Clams, lol. Nothing can take these memories and feelings away from us. We will meet again, someday...and until then, your memory will live on in all of our hearts and minds. Condolences to your family and friends.
~~Love~~ Tracy Kelly

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.
