I want you to know, Deanna, that I am thinking of you and your entire family! I will be getting in touch with you. Annette Van, Craig, kids & grandkids cme4nls@cox.net This year has been a tough one. I am so honored to have been not only Suz's friend, but Jim and the boys too. My family has meshed with theirs and will always be family. Thankfully she is at peace and with her mom, no longer in pain. I know that my mom greeted her with open arms. Both of our mothers were more than likely also good friends in the hereafter. One day we will all be together again.
