Dearest Sue,
You were such a free spirit… I remember when Barb and I were hanging out with you in your bedroom, and you introduced us to Elton John and Led Zeppelin. That was the first time we had heard their music. In our house we listened to country and western songs. Thank you for opening our eyes and ears to rock and roll. I liked your smile, your warm heart, your love for animals, your honesty, and your cheery personality. You were very special, and I am going to miss you so much. I take comfort knowing you are in Heaven now with our Lord and Savior. Someday I will see you again, Sue.
