Dear Jack, Jenny, and Jeff,
I was so saddened to just hear the news today of Sue's passing on the 22nd.Over the holidays I unfortunately
failed to see any announcement in the paper. I am so sorry I missed her services. Sue was one of my absolute most favorite patients I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She was more than a patient, she became a dear friend. She always kept us laughing when she came in with her funny quirks and stories. I will miss her greatly. On behalf of myself and my entire staff, please accept our sincere condolences and sympathy to you and your family

Because of the distance, we didn't get to see our Aunt Susan as often as we would have liked, but I have wonderful memories of our time together over the years. She had qualities that made being with her and around her so enjoyable - her smile and laugh, and her wonderful sense of humor. I remember most that she cared so very deeply about her family, and was so proud of Jenny, Jeff, and ALL of her grandchildren. My deepest sympathies to Uncle Jack, Jenny, Jeff and their families - our thoughts and prayers are with you.
