"Perhaps They are Not Stars in the Heavens...

Yesterday the world lost a wonderful woman to cancer. Her name was Sue and she was one of the very best of people and I will be forever saddened by her passing. I've known her for as long as I can remember as Big Sue...the woman who looked like a tree to me when I was little. I loved that her laughter could fill a room and that she could make me laugh with almost anything she said! She was a wonderful human being and fought so hard to beat this cancer, but in the end it reached her bones and there was no more fight left in her. It seemed like just yesterday that mom told me she was sick and now she's gone. It breaks my heart b/c I would've loved my son to know her. I would like to believe that she's up there shooting the "stuff" with my favorite person...my great grandma Ruth that passed away more than 10 years ago. They would love each other! I love this quote: "Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy." Love you and miss you always Big Sue!

Well said Baby doll. Sue will be missed, especially by your mom. Mommy feels her loss and still has to be reminded of her passing since she sits right next to her empty workstation everyday. God must have been hard up for a laugh if he needed her with him.
