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.

Bill, Tammy & Steve, I was terribly sorry to read about the loss of your Father. I remember him being a great asset to the school board and being one of Ellicott's number one fans at all the sporting events. You and your families are in my prayers. God Bless.

My deepest regards at this sad time. My greatest memories of Jim of course occured as I would serve him at Sandy's. I grew up with him being such a great soul and loving man. He will be greatly missed.

Judy and Family,
You are in our prayers. We are sorry for you loss.

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. May God hold you in the palm of his hand and give you great comfort during this difficult time.

Judy & family: We are shocked and saddened at the untimely passing of Jim. May you be surrounded by the love of family and friends and may God's grace shine upon you and comfort you at this difficult time.

A half century has passed since I first had the privilege of meeting and getting acquainted with James E. "Jim" Burnside. It would have been while I was employeed at the auto parts store at 2631 E Hiway 24 (now E Platte Ave) in Colorado Springs. Jim was such a great guy, so much fun to be around, always laughing, cutting up, and us joking around at each others expense!!! I'd see him coming in the store and announce..."Hey, Fellas, here comes my buddy Jim "Sideburns"
What a total shock it was to first read the account of the accident that took the life of my Friend Jim, and then to view his obituary on-line. I extend my most profound deepest heartfelt sympathy to his wife Judy and all his children.

To Judy and family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We'll be thinking of you at this time. We have been telling some stories, and one we especially like is when we were all at your house for the family reunion and those of us who Jim "helped" into your pond. God bless you. Mae Reinhard, Mona, Linda, Joey and Christina and all our families.

Tammy & family,
Our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family during this diffcult time. May God's love surround you all and bring you sweet peace.

To Tammy and the Burnside family,

Words cannot express my sympathy for you. I will continure to pray for your peace and healing at this time. I met Jim about a month ago and could tell that he was a very special person, and I know that he will be missed. Love to you all.

Well, I am a loss for words. They cannot describe what a good man Jim was. I feel like I had known this man all my life. He has always been very supportive and all that is Jim. The schools, the kids, the teachers, the sports. There was nothing that Jim touched that did not come out better. Judy, Steve, Tammy, Bill and Sam, I am so sorry for your loss. However, I am a true believer that Jim is doing good at what he can where ever he is. Or at least telling a good yarn about what he had done and been.

All my love and prayers,

Tina Teakell Smyth

Dear Judy & Family, it was such a shock to here of Jim's passing. Gail & I truly thought the world of Jim & know that he is in a much better place now. Our hearts goes out to you.

My sincere sympathy to Jim's family, I knew Jim from working at the Calhan Coop, he was always fun to help, always had cheerful smile. He will be missed by all who knew him

We will miss Jim so very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Judy and family.

We have you all in our prayers and thoughts. We all loved Jim in our own special ways and will always keep him close to our hearts.

My favorite memory is when Uncle Jim taught my oldest daughter Shannah to go up to people and "get their nose," unfortunately she miss understood at the age of three, and nearly twisted my nose off.
