I know you don’t know me, but Sue and I were second cousins. Her father Russell and my mother Mildred Baker Walter were first cousins. I last saw Sue when she was about 4 years old, and I remember she had such beautiful hair. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

We love you, Irv. Below is a poem for you, as you deal with the loss.

Do not stand by my grave and weep

I am not there, I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glint on snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

I am the gentle autumn rain

When you awake in the morning hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight

I am the soft star shine at night

Do not stand by my grave and cry

I am not there, I did not die

You’re still in our hearts, Sue.

I met Sue when she worked at Kanuga animal hospital. She was always so sweet and caring. Her mother Jackie Lived a few doors up from my parents, so we all came to know Sue and Jackie. We are so saddened to hear of Sue. She was a wonderful person. We will truly miss her.

Lisa and Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. I will always remeber Sue as my second “MOM” growing up at the Lake. She always made me feel that I was one of the family. She could always put a smile on your face and love in your heart.

Sue was an extraordinary friend, and we will deeply miss her. We feel blessed to have been her friend for the last 15 years.

Her loving and caring ways were so evident in her role as a Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Daughter. Her loving care for her Mother after her Father died was so special, and totally demonstate what Sue was all about.

We pray for Sue’s family while they try to adjust to life without Sue – hopefully Sue’s memory will provide the strength to deal with their loss.

We love you all!
