Hi!

It has been a little over 2 months since Susie passed away and I wanted to check in and let you know we are all doing o.k. We have all had a low week last week and are trying to pick it up this week.

I miss Sue so much, it seems like it gets harder sometimes as the time gets longer, I really have had intense longings to see and talk to Sue. I am glad we believe in God and that Sue is in Heaven, because without that hope this would be much much harder.

I hope all of you are doing well. I cannot believe so many of you are still coming here, yet i is a place to remember her and look at pics and read the stories. I think about you, Sue's friends alot and the many kindnesses you showed to her and our family, thanks again and I hope this finds you all doing well.

God Bless You All,

Kaylee

I have been so busy with work that I have not had time to look at the blog since last week.

I usually check it at least once or twice per week as I love the pictures of Susan.

I agree that as time as gone on...missing her as been the biggest hurdle. There have been many an occasion where I would have loved to have picked up the phone to just ask her something and realize I can't. It is so very difficult.

I know Sue is in Heaven and is looking down and it gives me comfort.

Ray, Kaylee, Kari, Kay & Doug,
I can not imagine how you must miss Sue. I get in a bit of a "funk" after being on a vacation w/ family and then we are back to our own daily lives. It takes me a day or 2 to stop misssing everyone. It is NO comparison to what you are all going through. I think of you all so often and wonder how you are doing...... I am so sorry. Sue was/is someone to miss.
With love and sympathy,
Lisa

Hey everyone...

I think about Susan every day - without fail. There's always something that reminds me of her (every time I see a squirrel) or something gets said that she would have said ("You're scaring me!") or I just think of something I would like to have shared with her... Most times it's just nice to think of her and her legacy... other times it's a sharp pain in my chest and a blurry veil of tears in my eyes.

My prayers are with you all. Inevitably, when I think of Susan, I think of Ray and her family and what it must be like for you. I'm sure my imagination pales in comparison to the reality.

On another note... So many people have been kind to donate to the 3-Day 60 mile Breast Cancer walk on Susan's behalf. It looks as though they will allow us to have someone walk "in her place" at the event. At present, I'm hoping David D will take up the pirate flag in her honor - he's been training faithfully with the team and he donated all of his jUMPs birthday money to members of the team as well.

I will keep you posted on our progress - 9 weeks until the walk. I would like to get a large picture of Susan that we put on poster board for our team to carry at the opening and closing ceremonies (and place by our tents in the evenings)...

Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with you all -

Much Love,

Deb (aka Taunter)
