Last time I saw Sue, when visiting her in Colorado. My daughter, Kim, was about 13 then.
(Above) Sue on her wedding day.
Sue was my best friend. We had known one another since meeting as Freshman at Rich East in 1960. When she married I was her Maid of Honor. She died at 62 years of age, in Colorado, where she had been living for quite sometime. She had struggled with Pancreatic Cancer for about 7 years, as well as having a abdominal aneurysm. Her life had never been a easy one but she fought the good fight and was always upbeat, which she had always been known for, never calling defeat to the disease that ultimately took her life in the end.
In her 20's she had married, moved to Minnesota and then on to Colorado with her husband. They divorced after about 7 years of marriage. She had no children, sadly having lost one in childbirth. We always kept in contact with one another by phone and she was the type of person that never made you feel as if our friendship had never stopped growing, even all those miles away from each other.
Every time a class reunion came up she had always wished she could attend, but finanically never could afford the airfare back here.
If anyone would be at the 50th Reunion, Sue would have... So, while you attend the party, have fun and reminisce, please keep Sue Adams in your thoughts. Because I know that in spirit she will be there, happy to see all of you again.
" There are no guarantees," Roger Ebert said.
But there is also nothing to fear.
We come from oblivion when we are born.
We return to oblivion when we die.
The astonishing thing is this period of in-between."
God bless you, Sue. Know that you are missed. <3 <3
Well I cried when I read what Sue S. wrote. I have felt really sad about Sue Adams since I found out she passed. She called me not that long before she died, since I live in Denver. She wanted to get together with me and we made a half hearted plan, and I've felt badly since it didn't happen. I was either being all self absorbed in nursing or nursing school at the time. She made me aware of how we should not put things off. It wasn't until after she passed that I knew she was struggling with cancer, something we could have talked about.
Don't waste time. Tell your loved ones you love them. Sue, I light a candle in my soul's altar for you, and all you represent. May all who knew and loved you have peace.
