Gwyn,

I am so very sorry for your and your family's loss. My memories of Keisha are her big bright smile and her caring, friendly personality; I think it runs in the family. As you know, God always has his plan that we might not understand. But, you can take comfort in knowing he needed one more angel to help him look out for the loved ones here. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you always.

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.

Ms. Yvonne: I can't say I know how you feel because I've never experienced this before. But I will say you had a loving daughter. Keisha and I went to Preschool, Elementary, part of Middle and High School together. Keisha always kept a smile on her face and if at any time someone made her mad, that madness didn't last long. Keisha leaves behind great memories with me and other classmates of hers. I pray that you and your family will allow GOD to be with you during this loss of your loving daugther.
