Paul, Nicholas, Nathan and Lorraine our hearts are shocked and broken by the loss of such a wonderful and beautiful person as Sue Ellen. We always thought the world of and admired Sue Ellen. Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, for as long as there is a memory, they’ll live on in our hearts. Sue Ellen has departed this earth but she truly has not left, for she is still alive in all of your hearts and minds, and through all of you , she lives on.
The agony of loss is great but yet you will stand it. Had you not loved so much you would not hurt so much. But goodness knows you would not want to diminish that precious love by one fraction of an ounce. You will hurt but you will be grateful for that hurt for it bears witness to the depth of her meaning, her compassion, helpfulness, kindness, caring heart, thoughtfulness , and her deep love of family and friends. She was a beautiful person and she will be deeply missed by many. And for that you will be eternally grateful.
May our Lord bless and comfort you and your family during this time of grief and may the love of family and friends comfort you during the difficult days. In ways we do not understand, our loved one will be present in our lives forever. God, family and friends will show you the way through this horrible pain and a way to smiling again. Something good will happen tomorrow or the day after that will bring wonderful memories of her. Just remember all the good times you shared with precious Sue Ellen and all the love she gave all of you throughout the years. A great soul like Sue Ellen never dies but will bring you together again and again. It's the little things, the small everyday occurrences that you'll remember--the laughs, the stories, and the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these varied memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why she left this earth, or why she left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that she died, but that she lived and that her life gave you memories too beautiful to forget. May the memories you have of her and the love that surrounds you help your heart heal. The heart remembers most what it has loved best. May these memories comfort you and bring you peace.
Remember there is comfort in family and friendship, hope in prayer, peace in love. We love you and are sending you an infinite amount of love, hugs and prayers. Xoxoxoxo
