Dearest Susie, you were my favorite of all the relatives. The few good memories I have of childhood all involved you. I remember the happy Christmases with you, Aunt Jane and Uncle Leland. You always had arms ready for hugs and shoulders to cry on. I love you so much and miss you so much. We were separated for so long here on Earth....I hope you'll be waiting in heaven.

Mike and PJ, my love to both of you.
