Katharine and Maggie,
You mom was one of a kind. I loved her and admired her love for life. She took me under her wings and watched over me when I became the new member of the Wheatley/Koronis family.
Thank you for letting me share her final days and being a part of her memorial gathering. It was the perfect way to express the love we all had for her.
In love and friendship, Jeanine

Kate and Margie,
I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss. If I could I would get on a plane and fly back to Massachusetts to be able to honor your mom who was such a special part of our family. It was especially touching and meaningful to me that she came to the hospital the night my mother, Aunt Irene, died, and spent that vigil with us. She brought us laughter in the midst of our sadness. I'm sure my mom has prepared a special place for her.

Not only did we share over 30 years of laughs but many adventures that will remain some of my fondest memories. Our Edinburgh house with a looney 'roommate' and a litter of kittens--SURPRISE-- and days worth of travel in the Highlands with no life in sight--dodging planes and practicing our brogue with a lisp. Ahhh, good days. Then the Hebrides where it didn't get dark. Our London home on Lovelace Lane with Rachel, haircutting Dennis, an Irish Leprechaun, and early morning window washers. "Who the heck has peeping toms on the second floor?" On to France with an angry police officer when you went the wrong way down the Champs Elisse. Your excuse: "Pardon Moi, Je rentez la car..." How'd we avoid the Bastille? Then not being able to pay for dinner in St. Cyprien. Opps. And Kathy noting "Mom, these people don't have any clothes on" as a man left the ocean wearing nothing but his flippers. "Look into his eyes Kathy, into his eyes I tell you!" Then the bullfight where we all cried. Who talked us into a bullfight anyway? Oh ya, those handsome men on the beach. And you had some great places in Florida--sorry I blew out Mel's candles--didn't know they were her health and wealth candles. Hope she recovered. And why the heck didn't you marry that guy with the great house on the intercoastal? You might not have had any regrets but I regret you didn't do that one! That was a great place to stay! Then you came to stay with me in Germany--great visit and you and Peg shared a very memorable trip home amid blizard, a long bus drive on a closed highway, and laughing at Peggy's inability to travel light as you schlepped the subways of Boston in the midst of a Nor'easter. I'll remember you both fondly on April 1st. Ahhh. Great memories. Lots of belly laughs. And an ability to live every day to its fullest. Two beautiful children and a legacy that will live in our hearts forever. Thanks so much for all the memories -- they'll carry me through to the rocking chair. Don't forget to visit me--you promised to try and scare the bejeebers out of me. Save a space for me in the universe--I suspect lots of adventures yet to come. You are SOOOO loved!

xx & an intergalactic hug,
Kristin

Suellen....I am so glad we became friends in our "Digital" years. My memories of you are very fond. You were always the life of the party and knew how to light up a room. Always so positive about life. I remember too how proud you were of your daughters. Thanks for being you.

Suellen,

You were one of the funniest, most positive, free spirited women I have ever had the blessing of knowing. I truly believe you helped in defining the woman that I have become,,,,and I know that you hold a very special place in my mother's heart. She and I,,and all the rest of the Callahans will miss you deeply. You raised 2 magnificent human beings in Kathy and Margie,,,know that they will be fine,,thanks to you giving them the courage and talent to be independent and successful women.

Oak Ridge Drive will never be the same.

With love,

Kathy (Callahan) DiRusso
your loyal babysitter :)
