I have just now found out about dear Susan. Although none of her family will know who I am (I did meet her son in a restaurant one time), I wanted to express my love for her. I in shock to learn that this beautiful, loving person is no longer with us. We first “met” online as bloggers. I live in Blytheville, so we met for lunch couple of times, and we often corresponded through FB and emails. We had not corresponded much in recent months, and neither of us knew why that happened. I didn’t know she had been diagnosed with cancer, and she didn’t know I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the end of April. I’m doing well, and my prognosis is good.I unexpectedly saw her, and met Joe, at the KY Derby party a couple of years ago. What a great couple! And now I read that they are together again. What tragic losses for their family. I saw the precious photo of them dancing, and I know they are now dancing in heaven. I’m sure you know how much she loved her children and grandchildren. We exchanged a lot of emails about weddings and grandchildren, and her love was evident each time she talked about them.I apologize for writing a novel. Susan would have laughingly told you that long emails are normal for me.I send my sincere condolences for the loss of this beautiful couple. Laurie Ritchey
