For Susie

Yesterday, I lost a dear friend of mine, who had battled cancer for two years. Susie was a
friend, daughter, mother, grandmother, nurse, artist who had a wonderful fun personality you'd love
to be around. I admired her courage and her tenacity to live her life to the fullest, while all the while
never once stopped being there for friends or family. I will miss those stamping classes and lunches
with friends who loved to get together just because. Every time I see my hydrangas bloom, I will
think of you. Goodbye, my friend, until we meet again.
