It's weird every year when the 13th December comes around. You're not here, but this date is always your birthday. 52...!

ararrggghk Susan... you would have hated getting old. I imagine today you would have pretended that you were any age but 51. You a would have searched for all evidence of aging and getting old.... but that's just silly. We (Billy, Rhoda, Ann, Karen, Me , Carol) are are all Gen X kids. We are extra-ordinary. And you are the one we all miss so much

Susan would have been 50 on the 13th December. Carol and I teased her when she turned 25, saying she was a quarter or a century old. She didn't like that very much! I can't imagine how she would have responded to us teasing her about being half a century old. I lay flowers on Granny Marshall's grave for her - they shared a birthday.

Your 48th birthday has come and gone. I looked up at the stars on the evening of the 13th and wished you a happy birthday, and wondered where you are.
Miss you XXXXX

‘Chance made us sisters
Hearts made us friends’
I found that funny framed quote (that Susan gave me in 1991 on her return from Canada) and remembered all the laughs we had over it.
Six years today, dear sister...... The heartache is still the same ❤️❤️

You went away so suddenly
we did not say goodbye ..
But sisters can’t be parted,
precious memories never die
July 2, 2017
I think of you a lot Susan, when I hear a song that reminds me of us at the Junior school, trying to get out of H.E, swimming and games! We laughed every day, walked home together every afternoon, they are some of my happiest times. I think of you every year on our birthdays, just a week apart, and miss you very much. Love to your family xx

Happy 46th birthday - still strange that you're not here

Another year has passed
Another year you are gone.
My grief is now part of my life - like breathing -
My heart aches with sorrow.
And you are still gone.

EVEN such is Time, that takes in trust
 Our youth, our joys, our all we have,
And pays us but with earth and dust;
 Who in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wander’d all our ways,     
Shuts up the story of our days;
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust.

I measure every Grief I meet
With narrow, probing, eyes –
I wonder if It weighs like Mine –
Or has an Easier size.

I wonder if They bore it long –
Or did it just begin –
I could not tell the Date of Mine –
It feels so old a pain –

I wonder if it hurts to live –
And if They have to try –
And whether – could They choose between –
It would not be – to die –

I note that Some – gone patient long –
At length, renew their smile – 
An imitation of a Light
That has so little Oil –

I wonder if when Years have piled – 
Some Thousands – on the Harm – 
That hurt them early – such a lapse
Could give them any Balm – 

Or would they go on aching still
Through Centuries of Nerve –
Enlightened to a larger Pain – 
In Contrast with the Love – 

The Grieved – are many – I am told – 
There is the various Cause – 
Death – is but one – and comes but once – 
And only nails the eyes – 

There's Grief of Want – and grief of Cold – 
A sort they call "Despair" – 
There's Banishment from native Eyes –
In sight of Native Air – 

And though I may not guess the kind – 
Correctly – yet to me
A piercing Comfort it affords
In passing Calvary – 

To note the fashions – of the Cross – 
And how they're mostly worn – 
Still fascinated to presume
That Some – are like my own –

In Memoriam

I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.

But, for the unquiet heart and brain,
A use in measured language lies;
The sad mechanic exercise,
Like dull narcotics, numbing pain.

In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er,
Like coarsest clothes against the cold;
But that large grief which these enfold
Is given outline and no more.

-- Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Today would have been Susan's 43rd birthday.
For some moments in life there are no words.

This site has been set up to remember Susan through all of our collective photos and memories of her. It has been done specially to mark what would have been her 42nd birthday. I hope that others will add photos too, write down their memories, and that it can become a lasting memorial for our much loved and sadly missed Susan.

Our darling girl came home on a cold wet December day. Our lives were never the same again! We were slighly terrified but highly delighted with her. The terror passed but not the delight!

Icecream at Peter's

December 4, 2012

This picture was taken in summer 2005. After the meeting we all went to Peter's for icecream and sat out in the (not-so-warm) sun. Cole was just a baby. You can see wee Dean flitting in the background.
