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.
