Events
Tributes & Memories
Words are hard to come by this evening but I can't help rembering Sue and Bill's favorite saying -- "Come grow old with me -- The Best is yet to be!" I am totally convinced that we were placed across the street in Benton Arkansas for those few years so that we could lose our fear of growing older. If Tina and I can even half accomplish what they did -- what a testament!! We shall always cherish the memories of the learning experience we had with Sue and Bill. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out this evening to Bo and Sheri for making Sue's last years so special. She was content and loved. We grieve with you even though it is long distance.
