Donna,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. She was a
very sweet lady. You, and the rest of you family
will be in my thoughts and prayers during this
difficult time.
I had an angel here beside me,
Sent to Earth to help and guide me,
An angel always there for me
Sent to love and care for me.
She did the things that angels should:
She taught me what was bad and good,
She gave me hope when no one cared,
She held my hand when I was scared,
She cheered me up when I was down
(She could make a smile from a frown),
She doctored me when I was sick,
And many another angel trick.
Today my angel earned her wings, Her halo, harp and other
things.
But today I'm lost and all alone
For today God took my grandma home.
Aunt Sue. Was the best . A will be missed.We all loved her.

I already miss our talks and the laughter in Sue's voice. She
has been such a loving Aunt. I have felt honored to be her
niece. She would have been proud of you kids during her last
days. You took great care of her. Love you all. Janet
