“Damn I miss her! I still want to call her and tell her stuff – like how wonderful…”

Have a little faith, she knows, and is probably smiling right back at you.

I know she would have loved Steve and Burl both because I think they would have come right back at her with her zingers! Most people didn’t realize what a softie she was under her hard persona. To me the best example of that is one of my favorite Christmas memories on Schultze Street – after everyone had opened their gifts and she said she didn’t get what she really wanted – a dog. I think Riley had given her something like diamond earrings and all she wanted was another Max.

I remember that Mother’s Day so well – and having lunch at the Lodge of the 4 Seasons. She didn’t find out about the cancer until her surgery on July 8th that year – their wedding anniversary. I’m so glad you have that great memory of her and our wonderful day together.

I still think of the last time I saw Susie on Mother’s Day weekend the spring before she died. I don’t think any of us knew about the cancer then. She took me aside and told me (in her closed-mouthed Susie voice) that she loved me and was thinking of me. I was going through a divorce at the time. She never met Steve, but I think they would have really liked each other.

I miss the stops at the lake, the endless bar options, Christmas at their house on Schultze street, and the outspoken way she loved us all.
