“I think we bought 5 of them, planning on having some crazy, fat, party-for-2 later that night.”
The first time I met Susie I was floored by her willingness to take me in as family.
The first night I slept at the Facini household, I found Susie carting extra towels and blankets into my room. She offered to let me use her hair straightener, her hairbrush, you name it… a real “you-need-it-we-got-it” attitude. I couldn’t rave about her enough to my parents: Andy’s sister is such a sweetheart; I couldn’t believe how sweet she was, fixing up my room as if we were best friends having a sleepover.
That weekend, I became Susie’s first passenger with her newly acquired driver’s license. We drove to Waldbaum’s, where she knew exactly 100 percent of the staff, and bought Choco-Tacos – which I’d never had before. I think we bought 5 of them, planning on having some crazy, fat, party-for-2 later that night.
Between the first time I met Susie and the last time I saw her at Stony Brook, I could not tell you any differences in that attitude. She and I were fast friends and I attribute all of that to her beautiful spirit.
Angela, Susie loved you with all her heart…
Thank you Angela for your SUSIE story . She loved you from the moment she met you. [what’s not to love???] AND Uncle Don and I feel the same about you. Susie said I was her adopted grandma and Uncle Don was her adopted grandpa. We feel that you also are one of our grandkids. I think Susie would approve of this arrangement. O.K with you Susie?
What a happy memory. Thanks. Gina
