To My Beloved Family,
Aunt Loretta will be greatly missed. I remember all the good times we had in New York. I am sad I am not able to be there in this sorrowful time. She is with all our loved ones and especially with GOD. John 3:16 sums it all up.

I will never forget all the times I spent with my Grandmother. I am truly lucky to have had 25 years of life with her by my side. She was my constant admirer and always believed in me. I will never forget the woman who helped raise and make me who I am today. I love you Gram!

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.
