We Lost a Member of our Family Yesterday

This is a picture of my Aunt and our late family member, Suzy. She has always technically belonged to our Aunt. However, Our family took care of Suzy for a few years of her life and she always took care of us. She passed away yesterday living to be almost 17 years old!! She always had spunk and love for those around her - even in her last years. She suffered from blindness, and hearing loss before she passed away. I won't forget how she would run into the bathroom during thunderstorms and jump in the tub and shake because she was so scared, or how she would scratch up grass all over the yard after she went potty. Jeremiah knew her while he was on his mission and I'm sure will think, "Well, she smelled anyway." We love her though and she has made our lives a little more cheerful by being in it. I know she is watching over those who loved her now in Heaven with Our Heavenly Father. Since we stopped taking care of her, I have missed having her curled up at the foot of my bed keeping me company at night.

Here's to Susan - 10/2/1991 - 08/04/2008!
