Well, friends, on Oct 19 it was one year since our Susan passed away. Lots has happened since then; some of most loved sisters have joined her, Peggy, Leah, and Pat.
In Sept. Flo (Susan's mom) sent me pictures of S's middle son, Eric and his new wife, Jen. There was a beautiful picture of Alan with the kids after the service. Their wedding was on Sept. 18.
Susan's oldest boy, Jeff is marrying tomorrow, the 23rd to Courtney. Remember how we all smiled and cried when Susan described the proposal on the beach??? It was so romantic.
Alan is "soldiering on" as we all must. I think of him and his boys often. How Susan would have loved the hoopla of these 2 weddings just one month apart. Ah, how unfair life can be at times; but we all knew that already.
Keeping in touch with Susan's family has made her loss somewhat bearable; gosh, I really loved that girl. So, let's all smile, and give each other a group hug. We are family, so I wanted to share news from one of our many branches. Sending you all hugs, Luci

Wow! It's been a year already? Thanks for the update, Luci. How exciting those weddings must be. I'm sure Susan is missed by all who attend.
We're hugging you right back, Luci!
Love, Rita

OH Luci, thank you so much. What a wonderful post. Yesterday I was just looking at some pictures from the San Antonio gathering and thinking of Susan. I'm glad to hear her family is fine. I know Susan will be at Jeff and Courtney's wedding tomorrow. Group hug, Gail
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had. Elisabeth Kubler Ross
Wow, a whole year. I was thinking of her recently too, and thought it was around now that she passed. In fact, I think Juliejar's passing was around this week too, but 2 years ago. Susan's mother once lived in the suburb where I live today, I just thought of her when I was in our downtown, and picked up a brochure. I was always looking for pictures of our fabulous downtown here, she'd never believe it.
Susan was so proud of her boys, remember her "proudmama_S" screen name? She really was. And yes, the hoopla of 2 weddings so close together, what a beautiful time she would have had. She is missed by so many, it is still so hard to believe she is gone... Susan's passing was so sudden and shocking.
Group hug to all of us and extended out to her beloved boys (incl Alan) and mother...
L&H,

Thanks, Luci, for sharing this. I miss her too--she was such a HOOT. So much has changed in a year...
Hugs to you, my dear friend.
Love, Michele
Hugs to you, my dear friend.

Luci,
What a special post! Thanks sweetie for filling us in on Susan's family.
I sure do miss that lady too. She always had a way to get us to smile, didn't she? I still have a rubbing stone for good luck that she sent to me one Christmas. Everytime I look at it I think of her and that beautiful smile that she had.
Thanks for the memories dear friend.
Giving you healing hugs (because we are still healing from her death and all of the others that have also passed).
Love,
Debbie

She calls it friendship; I call it hope....
