Phil,
I emailed you but will tell you here. There will be no service, or memorial at this time. Susie actually HATED THAT, so no flowers or anything of that sort. I have told anyone that if they want to donate to the "GO FUND ME" site on Facebook, they can do that as there are still many, many bills to be paid. Susie had no insurance so it is going to be a lot of medical bills there.
She was very private and from the time she started going downhill, she would not allow anyone to even see her. Not even me and Tina. We saw her rarely. WE called a good bit, but due to her throat cancer, could not really talk and after it spread to her spine, she couldn't type to answer texts or emails. I had people send her messages of encouragement that she could read, and that made her feel better, but she would not let people see her. I spent two weeks with her driving her to her radiation treatments. She was in a lot of pain, a lot of exhaustion and was just ready to be done with it all.
She HATED the "pray for me" stuff on Facebook, she called all those people a "bunch of whiners" and felt like things like that should be private or with family. She didn't even tell her kids how sick they were because she didn't want them to try and leave England to come see her. Her oldest daughter actually got married on Sunday and they talked by SKYPE after the wedding. Susie was very private in her suffering and now is out of that.

The last thing she actually said to me was "You know you'll have to plan a giant party..."
So we will. I'm going to have a get together of all the people she loved to hear play and have them do her favorite songs

We are going to do some form of memorial but I don't know when right now. My main option is to turn the "Birthday show" into a Susie Memorial, but that is not set yet. Will let you know. It will be a big assed party!
But your card was the big hit of the get together yesterday. Janet, Tina, Beckett, and others were laughing their butts off at that one. Was Tommy's favorite thing and is on the refrigerator where he sees it every time he goes and gets his sweet tea. You will probably see him when you are here in July.
