Hi Nancy and Laura I am so shocked I just found out today my heart goes out to you and I am sorry. Babe was always so good to me and I will miss him.

Dear Garcia family,
Several years ago, I was lucky enough to play softball with Laura and Babe was our coach. Eventhough so many years have passed since then, he remains one of my favorite childhood memories and I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to know him. He was truely unique in his genuine, sweet way and I will never forget his bright shiny smile and heart-felt laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you as I know that such a special man will be greatly missed.

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.
