Dear Tom, Eric, Anthony, and Collette,

Sue was so kind to me during my illness in 2008 and beyond, and she shared her strength with me during a difficult time for both of us. I can see that she, and you, Tom, have instilled this same strength in your 3 beautiful children. She will always be with you. I am praying for your peace of heart.

With love and care, your neighbor
