“What four-year old can keep a white jacket with white fur so spotless?”

One of my favorite Susie memories is her beautiful white ski jacket with blue clouds. What four-year old can keep a white jacket with white fur so spotless? Susie, of course!!

Susie always wore her hat and gloves, just as her mom told her to – always without an argument. When Susie would come to visit, she would always look so pretty, dressed in a cute dress and shoes, with a matching bag. Her cousins would then change her into Umbro soccer shorts and t-shirts so she could play outside with them. Susie never complained! Her cousins dressed her up as a bride multiple times–I think she always ended up marrying Brian!

Susie was always smiling and always eager and ready for fun!  She loved her brother Andy dearly, and despite being younger than him, always tried to keep up with him.  Andy never lost patience with her, much to his credit, too.  Susie was so very special; her smile would illuminate the room.  What a tribute – to live like Susie!!!
