My sister SueAnn

Here is a picture of my sister SueAnn the last time I saw her.
She came for a visit last summer. Just her and Emma for a whole week.
After a year of Liver and intestinal problems,
she was feeling better and looking better too!
They had lots of fun and she was happy to have Emma to herself.
I'm sad to say last Sunday Sept 20th her short time here on earth ended.
Heavenly Father called her spirit home.
I'm happy that this is the last memory I have of her.
Happily enjoying her time with her daughter.
For those of you who didn't know my sister She was beautiful.
She loved gymnastics, cheerleading and drum corp.
She was an ICU nurse who worked in Florida, Massachusetts, Ohio and Maine.
She saved my life once when she stayed home sick.
I was five and had found a pack of matches. I thought I could light one and I did!
When the fire reached my fingers I dropped the match on my pajamas.
I sat in the kitchen crying as the fire spread through my clothes.
My sister hearing me cry came to find out what was wrong.
When she found me covered in flames she began to put the fire out with her hands!
I am so thankful for her.
I am thankful the time spent with her, for the love she brought to our family.
I am thankful that our family can be together forever.
I look forward to seeing her again someday!

Here are all the nieces and nephews together at the funeral. Although we were very sad to say goodbye to my sister! Happiness goes on in families forever!

  1. She looks like a wonderful person! I'm sorry you couldn't have more time here with her, but glad you have eternity still.
