Hey My SueBoo!!!
I'm trying to speak from the heart, but my heart is just in many pieces still. Helping you through life has been amazing. You gave me the guidance that I didn't have , the love I needed, the friendship that I always wanted. You were not just someone I took care of , you were like my second mother that God sent to me . We shared many talks, many walks , many tears most of all many smiles with memories. The selfish of me say please come back so you can see Messiah please, but I truly know that you are okay and you are not suffering anymore, you're not in any more pain. Just keep stopping by us as you did last night.Give Harley a kiss and a big hug for me.
Twerk on sistah I love you Sue, We love you!!
Always and Forever.

My Dear Skooz,
The world is going to be a lot less fun without you in it.For the last 5 years you were challenged beyond belief by the cruel monster Multiple System Atrophy.
You shared with me that your Father taught you to Deal with the cards you are dealt with.Well, he would be proud ,because you did just that.
You never complained, kept your head up, kept your positivity, your sense of humor and your constant concern for others before yourself. Your many friends can testify to that. I was honored to also be your friend and you have left me with so many wonderful memories I will cherish forever.
One of those memories, years ago, was the day you heard the term My Person and decided that it was the perfect description for us. From that day on we were each other's Person through thick or thin.
How do I start my day now? You were my first call in the morning and last call at night. We never ran out of things to talk about.Life will not be the same. I love you and will miss you forever my person.
Xoxo
