Our deepest condolences to you Wilson and all of your families. Meeting you two at the Buffalo roundup at Custer State Park was one of the best meetings for us ever. We seemed to sense an immediate bond that we continued over the last several years, the additional times you came west, the FaceTime calls, the emails, you both became a part of our family. We will miss Sue immensely but she is with God and we will all be together at a time in the future. God be with you and the entire family, we will talk soon. We are here for you always.

I will always be available to you to listen or do whatever I can to support you -- any time, day or night. Susan is now in God's hands and will be there to greet you when your time arrives.
