October 15, 2018 at 9:55 amJoe and myself are sending our condolences. You could say Sue was our next door neighbor at St. Peter’s Rehab center. I will miss seeing her smiling face , her assortment of fashionable hats and of course her little baby she held every day. She told me her baby’s name was Susieand that she was so good that she never cried . Sue was very happy and content in her new home. Now she has gone to a new home where all of her loved ones that passed before her are eating with open arms to welcome her to her forever home.
Rest in piece my friend.
