Not sure what to say?

I met Sue in 2007 when my dad was able to come to Kairos from Midland. He arrived on a Wednesday, Friday told me he was surrounded by angels and love and passed the following Monday.

Kim, Sorry for the loss of your Mother. Sue was a friend, may she rest in peace.

Sue and I were in Kindergarten together and all through school. We always had nice conversations when we met. I was always amazed at her caring generosity in her work at Kairos Dwelling. The PHS Class of 1967 sends caring thoughts and prayers to her daughter Kim and all her family. She will be missed!!

You are sorely missed. Rest in peace in Heaven. I will miss seeing you out in the yard. Fly high with the Angels my dear friend.

When, as a child, I disappeared into her bathroom to perform some origami on her shower curtain or started up a roller derby race in her basement, I never remember her getting angry or shouting. Sue was always so generous with her encouragement and support and was a role model for me regarding how to respond to...
