Sue would like to let you know that her work here is done. She received a call, a sort of an offer you can't refuse, for an appointment from which she will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with family she has not seen in a long time (of both the human and feline variety). Job security is exactly 110 percent. Her new position takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, crafting, drinking margaritas and reading novels to her heart's content. Music, laughter, and love are guaranteed. The food is delicious and you never gain an ounce. She left detailed instructions for her daughter Kerianne, her parents Lee & Jim, and sisters Sandy and Sheila, as well as other family and friends to celebrate her mission here, which has now been completed. Low adherence to this instruction will not be tolerated.

As a family, we want to let her know that she did a great job and wish her a peaceful journey. We will remember her humor, her love for cats and creativity, her compassion and strength, her love for her family and friends, but also her nursing colleagues and clients, many of whom over time also became friends. She worked very hard all her life, up until the very end. She made a difference in the lives of so many. We invite you to join us and celebrate her life together.
