Memories of Susan
Susie, you were one of my best friends. You, Connie and I were called the three musketeers. You were so beautiful with your blonde hair and blue eye's, in our Italian neighborhood. I was so sad when God took you away from us. You were no longer suffering. I will never forget you, and someday we will all be together again, until then my little friend, rest in peace.
    -- (Joyce Peneschi, Friend)
Happy Birthday Susie, October 29, 2004. Today you would have been 55 years old, if God hadn't taken you away from us many years ago. In some ways it doesn't seem that long ago, just yesterday we were kids playing around and having fun. When I look at your photo I see the beautiful little angel that you were, and will always be. Someday when God calls me up to Heaven, we can play together again...

This was my sister. She was also my best friend. Life has never been the same since I lost her. I was never given a chance to say goodbye. She will always live in my heart. Someday I will be with you again.

Love Mary
