Awe MAB, I was so sorry to hear of Susie's passing the other day. She's been on my mind a lot because I knew she wasn't doing well but to hear her life had ended brought a great deal of grief and a bit of relief she was not suffering any longer also. I'm sure you understand what I mean by saying that.
I don't recall ever seeing Susie that she wasn't smiling and sharing her cheer with everyone, even at FB last fall when it was obvious she had been through a lot. Susie was a genuine Sweetheart and a joy to be around. I would like to say also; Susie just loved You and Tina, your love and friendship gave Susie so much pleasure in her life and I'm sure you both know that. The truth is; it was so obvious the rest of us knew it also; which shows how special your relationship with both Tommy and Susie was (and still is with Tommy). I realize how special Susie was to both You and Tina and I know the two of you are suffering from her loss. I'm truly very sorry.
By the way, I don't do Facebook so I wasn't aware of the "go-fund-me" until Philboy told me over an email. I'm an old procrastinator and I don't care to sign up with go-fund-me but I'll get a card out to Tommy soon. Besides, I have to straighten up a little matter of Philboy trying to claim he loved Susie best. Susie knew very well it was OD that "Loved Her Best" but then again we ALL did, so no harm done.
