Dear Amy, Jose, Amy Jo and Joey,
I am heartbroken to hear about your mother and grandmother. She was truly a light in this world and I will never forget her cheerfulness and strength. Just going up her steps reminded me of that feeling of joy when going on vacation or to my grandmother's--just love and warmth and open arms. You are very fortunate to have had those steps to climb. She's just away. Yours always, Susan
