Hi Susan, a lot of time has gone by but I still think of you often. I pass your picture every day and I think of the last day I saw you in Walmart. You and Caitlyn were picking out a little flip couch for her. Matthew and James are doing great in Middle School, and I take Matthew home three times a week. Your son is still that smart, responsible, respectful boy that you raised, you'd be proud. I dont get to see Jessica, Kyle and Caitlyn very often since we changed schools. Matthew always gives me the updates on everyone. It sound like they are all doing great. Please keep looking down on all of us, because your one special angel. We are lucky to have you.
Love, Janet - Your Friend for Eternity

Hello Susan,
I never got the chance to meet you but have heard so much about you from the people closest to your heart. I am Kyle's Kindergarten teacher at Panther Run Elementary and I have to tell you what an honor it has been to have him in my class! I have gotten the chance to meet not only Kyle, but Caitlyn, Matthew (the president as our class call him) and Jessica. What an amazing job you have done with them. They are all so caring, responsible, and intelligent. I know you must be proud! You would be happy to know that your husband is our classes favorite volunteer! He really has a way with kids! Janet tells me you were the same way! I know you are with the kids always, and they still talk about you often.
Merry Christmas!

Susan, I have been thinking of you a lot lately, and I really miss you and our friendship. Sophia and Kyle are together in Kindergarden just like we planned. I love to take Matthew, Jessica and Kyle home from school because thats something we always did together. I just want you to know that I will never forget about you. Words cant describe how much I miss you and your amazing smile. Merry Christmas in Heaven!

Suz, I wanted to let you know that I miss you and think about you every day. I am trying my best to give the kids the love that you would have provided them however I struggle with it everyday. I just can't understand why this had to happen to such a wonderful woman.



I know you are trying your best to help me with some of my decisions, I love you for that.



I just can't stop thinking about how wonderful our children and our life was together and now I feel lost.

I love you with all of my heart.



Your best friend

Susan

It's hard to believe that one year has passed since you left us! I sat for a long time today just thinking about you and the things that have occured this past year. Some how I know you are never far from all of us, yet it's hard not to be able to see you or talk to you. Stay close to Eddie and the kids, this week is going to be especially hard on all of them. I can see how much they miss you every time I look at any of them yet they are all trying to be strong for each other! If we could only see your smile or hear you laugh once more...

Missing you....

Hi Susan

Today was the celebration for Jessica's 9th birthday. I'm sure you were there with us as she opened her gifts (lots more horses) and had birthday cake. I know you must be so proud of the lovely young lady that she is turning out to be. I see you in her eyes everytime I look at her!

Love you and miss you

Happy Birthday Susan! Saturday is going to be an especially difficult day for everyone here that loves and misses you. It's hard to believe that it's been over 10 months since you left us. They say that time heals all wounds but it sure takes a long time!

Hey Susan, if you have time look after my nephew Scott. He just joined your heavenly ranks last week and I'm sure he could use a friendly guide.

Dear Susan,

I only just found out this beautiful book existed. What a wonderful place it is! I miss you and think about you daily. I so enjoy spending time with Jessica because she makes me feel like your with us when we're together. Matthew is such a gentelmen he always reminds me of your kindness. Kyle is such a great kid. He's tough as nails and a sweatheart at the same time. And Caitland is finally talking to me and now she doesn't stop. She's a sweetie and always makes me wish I had had more kids. Ed is amazing! I don't know how he does it. Not only is he great with his kids but with everyone else's too. He always makes each child feel special. I am sure you know all this already because I know you are always with them. I can see it in their eyes...it's like seeing you every day. God Bless you and your beautiful family. I miss you

I watch the four of you all the time and I want you to know how very proud your mommy is of you and what a great job your doing taking care of your daddy. Your mom is one of the most beautiful and special angel you could ever of asked for. Mommy is with you every second of everyday and she will always be with you for every step of the way. All of you are growing up to be exactly how she wanted, beautiful, loving and kind. I feel truly blessed to have had a chance to be your mom's friend. I will always have a special place in my heart for her and for all of you. I gave mommy a pillow that says, A mother holds her children's hands for awhile , their hearts forever. I truly believe that. Please know that Ms. Janet will always be here for you. I love you Guys!

Susan - I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have tried to write in this book. Each time I would just delete what I wrote because it was just too hard to send. But it's time to let you know how much I miss you. How very proud you must be of the kids -- Matt and Jessica are doing wonderful in school, Kyle is such a little trooper with all he has been through and Caitlyn is blossoming into a little chatterbox! I know that you are with them every step of the way! I am trying to stay close with them and be there for them whenever they need me (just like I promised.) Spending time with them is like spending time with you! I really miss you!



Eddie - By now I hope you have realized that I am here for you and the kids! Whenever, whatever!!!

Susan, you was such a "blessing" to have as a "Room Mom" when Matthew was in my 2nd grade classroom. Your smile, generosity, and uniqueness went a long way. I will always remember the times you came into my room to assist, even when I know that it was almost time for you to have your baby. You was such a dedicated person. I will always cherish the beautiful photo album you put together of the memories of when Matthew was in my 2nd grade classroom. The world may have lost a "super" woman, but GOD gained an "ANGEL." You will always be in my heart with great memories. GOD BLESS!!!!

Susan, Well Sophia's 5th Birthday just passed and I'll never forget that you gave Sophia her first Birthday party at Pierson Park with Matthew, Jessica, Kyle, James & Francesca. My kids still talk about you and all the special little art projects you used to do when they came to your house to play. I've always said your amazing! I think about you in the mornings at the gym, remember when we used to meet and thats when you told me you were pregnant with Caitlyn. A lot of great memories I will never forget. Love & miss you, Janet

Suz, It is Valentines day and I am realy sad thinking about not sharing it with you. I miss you so much, I am doing my best with the kids however life is just not the same with you being here with me. I know you are watching down on me and keeping an eye on the kids. The kids miss you very much and I know a day doesn't go by without them asking something about you. I will love you forever. I love you higher than the sky, deeper than the ocean, and bigger than the whole wide world, always and forever no matter what. (I still tell the kids that exact quote that you always did) I miss you
