A Gift Angel

Debbie:
We live not too far from the Saddlers and our home was on Sue's regular path when she'd walk the dog. We always enjoyed little chats in the front yard when she'd pass by. And also, after Mathias was born she would ask what size diapers he was wearing and the next time we'd see her on her walk she'd have a pack of diapers for us that would come right as we were running low or out. I felt like she was a little diaper angel.
Also her 50th birthday celebration party was the most impressively planned and fun party I had ever been to. Her attention to detail and knowing what kids enjoyed was amazing. I am bummed that Mathias will not have had the opportunity to have Sue as a teacher in the 3 year olds in Sunday School. To see how all those 3 year old adored Sue at her party warmed my heart.
Robin:
The time we shared together was always sweet and I will miss Sue very much. I regret not spending more time with Sue and Tom...
Sue is in the presence of our awesome God, and what a blissful reality that must be!
I will always remember the intentional look Sue would give when she shared a conversation with me. It was a look that said I am with you and present here. I care about you and what you have to say.
If we get to remember one another at that mysterious yet great time of Resurrection, I look forward to seeing Sue again and experiencing friendship with her again in the kingdom of God.
