My Spoo,

Thank you for teaching me to be a better friend. If I use half of what you taught me, my part of the world will be a better place. I will miss you dearly and cherish the times we had, just as you taught me. Your example of strength has given us another tool to use in this life. Thank you for everything. My love and prayers are with your family.

Love,

Timi, Pat, 4 cats and a dog

Sue, I´m sure that you know I am in Argentina headed for Chile. You were a very special person in my life when I came in. We had many fun times and I will never forget you introducing yourself as a "toastburner" at St Luke´s.

Love always Mike O´Reilly

Sue, you were a special gift to us all on the road of "Happy destiny". I will never forget your patience, your sense of humour, your generous sharing of time and energy. Your courage as you dealt with life on life's terms was an inspiration to us all.

My heart goes out to your family and I keep them in my prayers. I count you as a treasure and I will never forget you. For more than 25 years you mailed your previous year's chip to me no matter where I was. Thank you for being such a wonderful example of God's love.
