Hey Kev
So sorry to hear about Sue. I am sure you are all going to miss her terribly. What I remember the most were all the weekends that we would spend together making incredible meals, putzing around the house and yard, and just talking. She was so excited when you got the chickens and always had a huge beautiful garden. The excitement when you guys had the beautiful girls. But probably what will be missed the most is her smile and laugh. Just hang onto the memories.

We built some wonderful memories since we moved to Cambridge to be neighbors with Sue and Kevin. If you ever needed anything they’d be there for you. The second Saturday of deer hunting won’t be the same. I’m so glad we had New Year’s Eve together this last year. The partnership and love Sue and Kevin have is inspiring. We will miss her dearly.
