Wow. Many years have passed. It feels like yesterday for me though when we were packing up Pat and Ryan to head to Sebago! I miss you and love you like you were right here beside me. With a heavy heart I salute your life and the month of June.

I still can't believe you're gone. I didn't want to think about it yesterday. It's still and always will be too hard to accept that you are not here. I miss you. Your laugh. Your sense of humor. Everything. It's not fair. I love ya Sue.

Susan,
I can't believe so much time has gone by. I do the math but it seems like you were here a few months ago. You'll always be irreplaceable and unforgettable in my heart. Miss you.

All of a sudden today I thought of you. I miss you now as much as ever. There are so many days that I wish you were here with me. I never knew how great a true friend could be until you were gone. Love you now and forever.

Susan, though I never got the opportunity to meet you, I’m sure that you were an amazing woman. Judging by your son Pat, you were nothing short of an angel. It has been nearly 5 years that you moved on, and I know that Pat misses you more and more everyday, but I’ll be there for Pat until you are reunited with him. And if he ever needs a reminder that you are watching over him, I’ll always be there to let him know.

Pat was here last week and with him he brought great memories of you at the holidays. Merry Chrismas and Happy New Year Sue. I still miss you.

We are coming up on 4 years without Sue and it is still difficult at times. Something will happen in my life and I still think to myself "I wish I could call Susan and tell her." I am starting to realize that this will never end and for me that is a good thing. Most times now when I think of her I laugh. Oh, I guess I still cry a little but not like I used to. I have never had a friend as good as Susan in my whole life and I probably never will. That's OK. I am one of the lucky ones! I know she still watches all of us and I talk to her sometimes. She listens.
I see Patrick still even though we don't live close anymore. I am now convinced that he and Ryan will be friends forever just like his mother and I were. I am really happy about that and I think Sue would be too!
I hope anyone that reads this site is doing well. I know there are quite a few of you out there that check it as frequently as I do!
Sue, I am still missing you and I love you!

I haven't looked at this guest book in so long. Although, I don't think a day goes by that my heart doesn't ache for Sue. Sue, so much has happened since we lost you. I think about where my life is now and all the things I didn't get to share with you. You haven't seen my house or met my children. I have a 2 year old daughter and a 3 month old son now. They're so incredible. As I encounter the challenges and joys of motherhood I think of how you were such a good mom to Patrick. I had no idea just how awesome a job being a mom was when Patrick was young. I wish I realized and helped you out more. Sue, you're an inspiration to me. I miss you so much. I will always keep your picture up. I point to it with my daughter sometimes and tell her about you. You will always be with us.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss Sue. There are so many things I want to share with her. I know she will always be with us, but I want her here. I want to laugh with her. I want my friend here. I have so much to share with her. I miss her so much.
So much has changed Sue. Things will never be the same.
I miss you always. I love you forever.

Recently a woman with whom I work passed away.....suddenly, needlessly. She was a 36 year old single mom. Her son is nine years old. I did not know her well, but her passing has touched me like I never thought it would. And with her passing came a familiar pain. The pain of losing Susan. I wish I could put my pen to paper and craft a silly, funny snapshot of a day I spent with Susan, but not today. Today is one of those days that I am wondering “WHY?” Acceptance is such a difficult thing.
Sue, it has been over two years and memories of you still spark so many emotions is so many of us, but most of all I miss you…..plain and simple.
Love always -

Over 2 years have passed and, like the rest of you, I still miss Susan very much. I got married last week and Susan was not able to be there. This was very difficult for me, but Patrick was there. We had him for the week and even though it is always difficult for me to spend time with Pat without Sue, I feel extremely lucky and grateful to have had him with me. I know Susan would be happy about that too. I miss you and love you Sue!
Love,
Jess

Susan,
June is such a difficult month for all of us with your birthday and anniversary. I have tears as I read these beautiful letters from the past 2 years. Oh, the heartache.....We love and miss you so much. I look at you on my refrigerator daily and think of you dearly.It is still so unreal.
Happy birthday to my cousin. I wish you were here celebrating 1970 with me and Kerri as we always did. I love YOU! Wishing you much peace and eternal rest with our heavenly father, Love,Krissy

It's hard to believe that 2 years have gone by. I agree with you, Marie. In a way it feels like yesterday, yet in another way it feels like years and years. It's so surreal. I just want to hear her laugh again. Sue, we love you and miss you so much. You are in our hearts and minds always. God Bless You. Kerri

Today is June 22nd, the 2nd anniversary of Susans passing. I still cant believe it. It feels like it just happened, then again feels like years upon years since I have talked to her.
Susan we are thinking of you, all the time. Love you & miss you

It's been over a year now and it still feels like I just got the news. I keep finding pictures of Sue that I want to hold on to for dear life, her cute expressions and incredible smile. I'm sure you all feel the same. I too, feel so blessed to have had her in my life for as long as I did, but selfishly I want more. It wasn't long enough. Sue, I love you so much and think about you constantly. My heart aches from missing you. God Bless You. Love you, Kerri

I can't believe it's been a year since Sue's been gone. Like most of you, not a day goes by that I don't think of her. Most of the time I find myself smiling, thinking of a crazy time we had together. But then there are the times that I find myself upset, still wondering why. I miss Sue so much. God has blessed me with many friends, but there was something so special about the friendship I had with Sue. No matter what, she always had a way of making me feel good. And laugh.. we would laugh until we cried. I just thank God that I was fortunate to have been part of her life and share in so many special times.
I will miss you and love you always.

Happy birthday to our dear Susan. We were all thinking of you last Friday, as we do daily. I miss you so much.
It's so hard to believe that your 1 year anniversary is approaching. The pain is still so real. It's been a tough year encountering life's calendar of events without you.
We know you are so proud of your beautiful son, Patrick, on the occasion of his graduation. We are all so proud of him and will support him in his high school career.
I love you and look at your photo daily. You are in my heart and mind forever. Wishing you much peace in heaven,Your cousin, Krissy

Today, June 13 is Susan's Birthday.
I want to wish her a Happy Birthday.
It is hard to believe that one year ago last night we were at her house having a birthday party for her. She was so happy!! It was such a fun night. I still cant believe she is gone.
Next week will be her one year memorial. It is just to hard to understand this still after one year has gone by. Sometimes it feels like it just happened yesterday and then it feels like it has been years since I have talked to her. I miss talking to her SO MUCH!
Well, I just wanted to wish Sue a Happy Birthday, we miss you.
Love, Marie

I still find myself logging on and viewing this guest book, even though I’ve already signed. I re-read every entry looking for something that will spark my memory and make me feel closer to Sue. Does anyone else do this? I’d like to make a suggestion. In addition to using this as a way to say goodbye to Sue, we could use it as a way to remember her. God knows we all have happy (and I’m sure hysterical) stories locked away in our minds. I am going to share mine. If any of Susan’s loved one’s read one and it makes them laugh, then I say it is worth it. Hopefully, some of you will do the same and we can all use this guest book as a great way of remembering Susan. I don’t want to forget these memories. I feel like I need to write them down so I can look back, years down the road, and remember......
Susan helped me a lot with my wedding, just 7 months before she passed away. She did my invitations, programs, stationary and seating chart. A couple of days before the wedding, my sister Colleen and I went to Susan’s house and worked on the seating chart together. It took us all day. I have never laughed so hard for an entire day straight! We had so much fun. She wouldn’t stop until she was totally satisfied with the display. Basically, we were pinning the type written list onto thick decorative poster board. Sue wanted the perfect (by her standards) pins to secure the list with. We ransacked the house; pulled out stickers, thumb tacks, buttons, and earrings, everything she could find. Still, she wasn’t satisfied. She thought maybe we could paint the thumbtacks with shiny silver paint. Yes, she had shiny silver paint in the house too. Colleen thought that was crazy and Sue just said “Oh, and I’m not going to do it?” and she did. She was concentrating so hard and painted them perfectly. When she was done, she sat back, looked at them and decided she hated how they looked. She started laughing so hard; that contagious laugh of hers. That made us laugh too. We laughed until we were crying. Once we pulled ourselves together, we headed to Walgreen’s and we scoured the store for the “perfect pins”. We did end up finding them, after searching the store for what seemed like hours. My seating chart came out great. We had so much fun doing it. God, did she make us laugh that day! That is one of the happiest memories I have of her. It’s such an example of who she was. She had a project and didn’t stop until it was perfect. She made it so fun too.
Maybe this idea of mine is silly and maybe this story isn’t really that funny or interesting. I just figured I’d throw the idea out there. Hang in there everyone :)

I have never meet Susan, but through Barbara Rose, with whom I work, she had, just a few weeks ago, created some personalized cards for my Goddaughter's shower with her soon-to-be new name. After the shower was over, Beth told me that that little gift was so very special to her. It was her favorite because it included her husband to be. She absolutely loved the cards that Susan had made for her. I have meet Patrick, and as a mother of four girls, I can tell you that Patrick is a very special boy. Patrick, know that Gods loves you, and that I pray for you. I know you have lots of people around you, but if you ever need to talk to someone, you could always call me. I know Susan was a beautiful woman, and now she is in the arms of our Father. What a blessing that we she walked on the path of life with us.

To Everyone who new Susan:
The world has lost a very beautiful person. Words cannot begin to explain the sadness and shock that so many of us feel. The shock has been so great that I often don't believe Susan is gone. At times, it just doesn't feel real.
Susan was ALWAYS so kind, helpful and genuine. Anyone that ever met Susan, even if it was just a brief encounter, was touched. No one will ever be able to forget her. Susan will always be so alive in our minds. Without a doubt, this world is better because she was in it.
Susan's creativity was second to none. The beautful cards and stationery she so humbily designed left everyone amazed. How lucky were the recipients of that beautiful work. Susan would spend hours and hours creating exactly what she thought you wanted. "Devine Design" was growing and Susan was becoming more and more well known. I was always telling her how proud she should be of her talents. Her work was reflective of her---spectacular!!!
One of Susan's greatest achievements in life is the masterpiece that took her almost 13 years to design, create, mold and raise. That masterpiece is called "Patrick". What an incredible job Susan did raising him. All of us know that Patrick is a good boy and a very special kid. He is kind, courteous, patient and respectful of others. He is her legacy.
Although I so wish God's plan were different, I am thankful that HE let Susan shape Pat for almost 13 years and not seven or eight.
Thirteen years ago when Susan had Patrick, God was at work. He started weaving all kinds of maternal love around Patrick. Beacuse God knew Pat would only have his mom for a little while, He placed alot of women in Pat's life. These women adore him. That did not happen by accident. I know there is no one that I would rather hang with than Pat.
Susan's legacy lives on in Patrick. We all love him and consider being in his company quite a blessing. Susan, being with Pat keeps us close to you. I love you, will never forget you and think of you everyday.
I love you Susan :)

Susan, This whole thing is such a blur to me. I can't believe you are gone. I love you so much. I know you are at peace in heaven with Uncle Jackie and that gives me some strength at this very difficult time. I'm so blessed to have had a cousin my age. Thanks for the laughs and wonderful memories through the years. I will miss hearing your laugh from another room and knowing so surely that it was YOU. Thanks for your love and dedication to your family and friends. Your cards and stationary are such a beautiful remembrance of you, that you created so generously for others. I will look at your rose bush and always think of you and the cycle of life. You are missed so deeply! We will be here for your family, especially your beautiful son Patrick. I love you.

Sue,
Your friendship is one of the greatest treasures in my life. I will never have a friend like you (a bestest friend as we used to say) Our hearts are broken and the void will never be filled but I will never stop giving thanks for being given the gift of your friendship. You are the best mother, daughter, sister, cousin, artists, employee and dear friend to so many. It’s difficult to be the best at all those things but you did it without knowing it. They say God sometimes takes the best people because he needs angels. Now I know this is true. You are our angel watching over Patrick and the rest of us.
I love you. Rosa

Sue,
You are my best friend and sister. I always loved to talk with you, shop with you and laugh with you. I love you so much and will miss you forever. I just dont understand why this happened and probably never will. All I know is that I lost an awesome person in my life and it will never be the same again. I want to thank you for always being there for me, I love you..

Sue, you were such a huge part of my life. Now there is an extreme void. A void that I will fill with memories, tears and laughter. I can't believe that you are gone and cannot conceive how I am going to make it without you. I am very blessed to have met you, become your friend and share so much of my time with you. No one will ever get me like you did. Thank you for letting me be your friend. I love you now and always, Kelly

You only meet friends like Susan once in a lifetime. You meet them, and then you hang on… you instantly know how special this person is. Sadly, some people never have a friend as good as Susan was to me and although I am feeling this terrible loss, I also feel lucky to have had her at all. We are all fortunate to have known this amazing woman and our lives will be forever changed for the better because of her. Her short 32 years here were a gift to us. I have never known a more caring person. Her giving nature was endless. Susan, I will miss your smile and your laugh. I will miss your compassion. I will miss my wonderful friend. You will never be gone to me. Your memory will live in my heart forever.

Susan is an inspiration to us all. She cared so deeply for her family and friends. It was apparent in everything she did. If she had the choice to do something for herself or for someone else, we all know what she'd choose. Sue, I only had the privilege of knowing you for 32 years. But you'll be my cousin forever. I love you. God Bless You. Ke

Susan was my cousin. Her laugh and sense of humor were contagious and very comforting. Spending time with her always made me giddy and high on life. She was very dedicated to her son Patrick. She cared so much for him and was so proud of him. Susan, you did a great job. He is definately something to be proud of. Susan was a light in my life and I will miss her dearly.
