As I light this candle, I think of the campfires we shared, of Sue's life of grace, devotion, and energy...
I know that her quiet and gentle spirit floated to a heaven that those of us on earth can only dare to dream of.
Bishop Sheen used to sing, "If everyone would light just one little candle, what a bright world this would be"

Sue was a glowing candle who brightened the world and our lives.
