I've been thinking about you and Pat and her stepdad a lot Bill, knowing what I do. And yes, I figured you'd be thinking about us too. You know my heart is with you all. Please let Pat know that.

Yes, Susie was always a sweetheart and everyone loved her. She was "everyones friend" and had a big heart, was always active, worked her heinie off constantly, surmounted many hard times, and made the meanest perogies and cabbage rolls too . She had a wonderful singing voice, Country, which she passed onto her daughters especially, had a sense of humour that wouldn't quit, loved jokes (she would have loved all you guys in here) and was a stoic too ... many things. Everytime we were together meant her making me play the clown so she could laugh something I did well. We also played guitars and sang together. Laughter, above all, is the most remembered and treasured thing!

I understand totally about your hopes that Pat's Step-Dad passes quickly now. I'll hope with you.
