Susie had been a part of my life since we first met in first grade. We remained close all through high school and for a number of years after that. We lost connection with one another for quite a few years and finally reconnected while she was still living in Indiana. One of my favorite memories was sitting in the back of the classroom in high school and not being able to look at one another without laughing. We would laugh so hard we would cry. Susie was a very special person who truly loved her grandchildren. She talked a lot about them. She has been my friend longer than anyone else. I love you, Susie, and will miss you so much!
