A year ago today … my beloved mom died suddenly.
It’s all been … a lot. Sometimes life feels in free fall. Other times oddly centered and calm.
A lot of change. Not all bad, nor unexpected. But I miss her.
That kind of brilliant, deep-feeling, vibrant, funny-as-hell force of nature, so unquestionably in your corner? You might know someone like that once in a lifetime, let alone be raised by one.
I’m deeply sad. Every day. But intensely grateful for who she was … and who I am as result.
And hopeful. Always hopeful.
And at peace.

in the short time I’ve known her I’d say you described her perfectly. I miss her living life with abandon approach. I miss her and know she will be missed by so many. she was truly a one of a kind and how many people can you say that about?
Very well said. And it always meant a lot to me when people saw her for how special she was. Thank you for being one of those people. Love you.

Truly one of a kind in all ways and “always”!!
Susie is missed by so very, very many and remembered by thousands, because of her outreach and advocacy of ALL animals and even a few human-beings who were absolutely dear to her heart and I know remain in her soul today. Her books and many writings will go down in history as a true legacy of the woman she was . . . and lives in us even today.
We Love You, Susie!!! ❤️💋

I agree with Beth on the fact you describe her perfectly. I never met Susie, but I got to know her over the chats we had on Facebook, and I’ve always love her living her life with such wonderful joy. When a person (Me) talked with her you knew that she was a great lady and lived her life every day to the fullest it could be. She was an awesome friend and I miss her and like Beth I believe she was one of kind.
Thank you for these kind words and thank you for being her friend. She enjoyed you so much and appreciated your heart and energy and insight.
💕 Thank you she was always late at night when I got off work and we chat back & forth about our day. Really cool and she had a big heart and gave to others all the time.
Amen ❤️
