Suzanna and family... My heart goes out to you and your family on the passing of your dear Mom. Sometimes it seems sad things come to us so quickly we barely have time to pick up the pieces to our heart before something else finds a way to break our heart. What can I say except that she is in a better place--a place where I believe with all my heart that she is young, happy, and joyfully laughing with all those loved ones who have gone before--but I know, too, that thought will not make it any easier to fill the void that she has left in your heart. Suzanna, I just know that your Mom will be watching over you, smiling when she sees you smile, hurting for you when you are sad...but she has left you with so many loving and beautiful memories. Please know that I care and that you and your family are in my heart and my prayers. If there is anything at all that I can do--if you would like to talk, if you need a dry shoulder, if you need a friend to wipe your tears or cry with you, please do not hesitate to call on me anytime day or night!

Love you,
Joyce Estep-Williams (CHHS 1962)
