Ronnie will be truly missed. I would see him all the time at (Johnnie B. Kelly) granny house on 5th street. I also know Ronnie from being friends with my brothers father (Double O) Major Carter. His family are in my prayers.

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.
