With love from Brenda, Tony, Blanton, Freyja, Adeline and Mathis

“Sue is one of those people you want everyone to meet.”
It’s something Freyja mentioned, in between tears, yesterday and I think sums up the bundle of love, joy and happiness Sue is.
Everyone needs a Sue, someone to share and champion their dreams, to constantly lavish love and hospitality on them and to be interested in every area of their lives.
As has been said before, we’re all extremely privileged and better off having known her and the world is a better place because she lived in it.
While Sue has been taken from us she leaves a legacy etched in our hearts and a challenge to be Sue-like towards others in our own lives.
As I’ve traced the memories I have of her there isn’t one that doesn’t make me smile and each will be cherished forever.
As well as being a beautiful human Sue will be remembered for her enthusiasm and unforgettable moves on the dance floor.
So in light of that I’d like to share a photo from an impromptu Thanksgiving dance-off between Wendy and Sue that happened last year while we visited.
While not 100 per cent sure I think the song they were dancing to was Scream and Shout by Will.I.Am and Britney Spears.
And if I’m not mistaken this was about the point in the song where the lyrics go something like this “when we’re up in the club, all eyes on us. See the boys in the club, they’re watching us.”
Today we’ll do a jig for you Sue.
Love Brenda, Tony, Blanton, Freyja, Adeline and Mathis.
