The tree above your grave weeps with raindrops Just as I weep tears for you Three years have passed by so quickly But your image is always in view The changes in my life are many Of myself I have much to give I wonder what you'd have thought If you had been able to live You always encouraged and inspired me For me there was nothing you wouldn't do But the gift I'll always treasure Was all the love that came from you My feelings and deep emotions Flow through my pen as I write I have found another voice inside me My writing has given me a new insight I tell others how much I love you How sad your passing was for me But your death seemed so senseless And sometimes I cannot see I read your words of wisdom And remember the times when you were well But my grief so often defeats me 'tho I know in sadness I must not dwell I try so hard to be strong But I still feel the need to cry You will always be in my heart My love for you will never die Suetang |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless You, sweet Sue, my heart cries out to you, but I know deep down you have made your father the proudest he could ever be for you, for you have become the true angel of love that he always dreamed you'd be and I know his love shines in your heart, for you carry on strong with such compassion and heart to share! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSSS) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, you will always be in my thoughts, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sue: We never stop missing our loved ones, but it doesn't hurt quite so much as time passes. Maybe your gift of poetry came from your Dad. A parting gift. Betty Lou Hebert |

Sue, I guess I can't do that. I have found the depth of the well that supplies my tears. Yet I cry and would cry even more if I weren't spending from the well so often. I'm sorry friend for such a difficult loss. I love my dad so much, I can't imagine! |

This is a beautiful tribute to your dad. My brother has been gone for about 20 years, now. And, I still tears come up in my eyes. No one (in my family) knows how much I miss my brother. |

Beautiful, Sue! We never stop needing our parents and it's a great blessing to have had parents who left us with beautiful memories and a sure knowledge of love. Shenachie |
