In my minds eye I see my Aunt Susan pulling up in her big brown 1978 Thunderbird bringing joy and boundless affection to me as a young child. Her small Stature shadowed by her larger than life personality. Oh how she loved children and especially my brother who she fondly recalled how precious he was sitting on the wooden fence at the lake house. She missed her mother throughout the years that having a mother would bring comfort and always recalled that she left too soon; I know she´s in heaven enjoying a family reunion with Nanny,Papa and my Dad. Always up for a family gathering and loved being a part of my son´s life growing up and so very proud of them. She would have them pose with her in pictures and she would be beaming in pride. The last time I saw her , I placed her Jesus doll by her and told her I loved her and Jesus would be with her until I saw again. How true those words were...until we meet again Aunt Susan you will forever be remembered and your spirit will live on in my life. Thanks for all the good memories and give Nanny, Papa and Daddy a great big hug from me. Love Aways your niece, Fuji
