Hello Lois, I think you and my mother , Ruby Barber , used to work together. We always called you "Lois Ann" and if I remember correctly you drove a GTO car. I don't remember where you two worked but I think it was at Cooper D. Cass Co. I just want to send condolences to you and your family. I know how hard it is to lose your mother as my mother passed away Aug. 2007. Thinking of you, Phylis Barber

Our Family picture. You will surely be missed. I love you so much Mary. Now you can be with daddy and the rest of your family. God Bless you and tell daddy hello for me. Love you Donna

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.
