Dear Dele, Cinde, and Angela. I miss your mother, and know that I will always remember her fondly. We became friends when our families were living in student housing, during a time which in retrospect seems to have been a particularly rosy period of our lives. Missing from our families at that time of course was the much-longed-for Cinde, but you came along soon after to complete the family! Susan & I shared a love of family; an interest in people, whether they were like us or from different cultures & religions; a love of reading; and a sense of humour- although I think hers was quicker & wickeder than mine.....Our affection & friendship survived by email despite the great geographic distance between us. I wish the next two "Susan" generations all that your mother would have wished for you. I hope that one day you will visit Bermuda - I always hoped to do it with her - and I feel privileged to have seen Angela & Dele's first-born - a beautiful boy. I'm sure the second boy is equally handsome!
Vale Susan- luv ya............Coral.
