Loving someone and losing them, not a moment past, is never easy. However, life is not about regrets and missed opportunities – it is about living it to the fullest and touching the lives of those you love and care for.

Sue Ann, your spirit and love endures in us all. There are so many stories of your life, which you shared so selflessly with those around you, and it would be careless if we did not share those moments with the countless people whose lives you have made brighter. For each one of us has a story, a quote, a happy if not painfully, sidesplitting, laughter induced, hands on our knees, hysterical memory of you. You were always only a phone call away, even at four in the morning, if we needed someone to talk to and feel loved when we thought it impossible. In our darkest moments, you were our light and though you are no longer with us in body, your spirit and memory lives on through us all.

Sinatra sang it best in My Way and the last thing Sue Ann would want is to have a room full of people sobbing for the wrong reason, or in her case, a football stadium filled to the brim! It is never goodbye, it’s see you later, though it may 'bring a tear to me glass eye'.

Please share a memory, photo, quote, anything to help keep Sue Ann's life and love alive and with us always.

I will be eternally grateful for her phone call to me in late 2007 which led to me seeing her in May 2008 after 3 long decades. The best tribute we could ever pay to Sue Ann would be to live out our lives as she lived hers. Kind, Compassionate, Loving & Giving!

If this didn't just happened 20 minutes ago I don't think I would have posted this but I think I must. I was going through a memory box looking for a poem my son wrote to me when he was very young. Instead I came upon the poem I wrote for Sue Ann's Memorial. Here it goes.     Sue Ann you were soooo funny
One of the greatest nurse's I ever met
Our OB Bethel family, the best kept secret you can bet.
Everyone thought I was the midwife
But little did they know
There was a powerhouse on the late shift
She was really running the show.
Sue Ann could deliver any woman
Turn her body left and right
"Come on rotate that baby. I don't have all night"
I know you can hear her say that
With her honest, humorous tone
She was loved by the Native women
Never leaving anyone alone.
Her colleagues and peers adored her
Knowing she had a strong back bone.
If you ever needed someone to talk to
You could call her on the phone.
Sue Ann was so considerate, so generous and kind
Her inspiration to me is to live fully
And absolutely keep a humorous mind!
Blessings always to Sue Ann's family and friends who loved her.

Memories of you help to make me a better nurse and person - I miss you even though I talk to you like you are right here.
