Flew down from above,
To teach me a lesson
About the powers of love.
She whispers to me,
Take a hold of my hand,
There are so many things
I wish you to understand.
About the powers of love,
And all it can do,
To someone who needs
To share it with you.
A pat on the back,

To the Powers/Cowhey Families,
Please know that my thought and prayers are with you. Sue was a classmate and friend at Marillac. In High School she was a leader, and an individual who was always there to lend a hand. She blossomed into a wonderful woman. Her short time here has left a legacy for many to follow.

Dear Mark and Families, That was really a beautiful service today. The priest was truly a master of public speaking,quite reminiscent of Susan's extreme talents in that area. Her last speech may have been one of her best and most important.

We were deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Though we never met Susan, we felt that we came to know her through her sister Marianne. May the love and support that has carried you through these past few, tough months continue to carry you through this difficult time.
Always keep Susan in your hearts with a smile. Know that she will always be there as your guardian angel to continue the love and support her family had given her.

Dear Mark and Cowhey Family:
It was a pleasure knowing Susan throughout our years at Holy Cross School. I am grateful that I also had a chance to reunite with Susan in recent years at our school reunion and during another mutual friend's illness. I was impressed by Susan's strength and willpower throughout her own illness and the successful life that she made for herself in spite of it.
I will keep Susan and her family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult...
