My heart goes out to each you during this most difficult time. Aunt Bert was truly a beautiful, loving and caring person. The memories I have of our times together will never be forgotten. Know that I am here for you. You are always in my thoughts and 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.

To My Family

Often we question, why our loves ones leave us, but God just moved them from this Earthly House to their Heavenly Mansion. My heart is heavy for you. My prayers are with you, but God will bring you through. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you
