I don't have words for the ache left by Susan's passing. There are only so many words to express the love. I'll miss the special bond, the giggles over the dogs and the kids and their friends...I'll miss it all. Who said it? "You don't 'get over' losing your sister. You just get used to it." Shannon? D.R.? You know where I am! All my love...

My family's deepest sympathy and condolences to Susan's family. We are all shocked that she was taken so early in life and I have personally spent days trying to come up with the words that would blunt her family's pain. Alas there is nothing I could say or do that would help them during this time of great sorrow. The one thought I have is that there is no more pain for her. She has been reunited with her mother and father now. How joyful it must have been during that reunion. She now waits for us to return home as we all will one day. Fairwell cousine Susan we love and miss you already. God rest your soul.

We are friends of the Richard Strassel family and I worked with Dick as a piping designer. We also had 8 children and visited with the Strassels in Houston many times. We attended the fumerals of Susan's Mom & Dad in Houston. Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends, especially Kathy Strassell, our dear friend in Houston.

I met Susan when she visited her sister, Kathy, a couple of years ago. I remember her as fun-loving, and was so sorry to learn of her untimely death. My thoughts and prayers go out to her immediate and extended family.

I found it so appropriate that the sun has shined and the temperature warmed, the time for planting has come upon us just as Sue has made her way to a more peaceful place. The following reminds me of Sue and I wanted to share-it brought me to tears as it filled my heart with wonderful memories: Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took God's hand when I heard the call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendshop shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me- God wanted me now, God set me free.

Growing up with Sue and her family was a blessing. She was a very wise, honest, and loving woman who always stayed true to herself. Her love of her beauty in her garden was a reflection of her love for people and life. I know that the flowers that grow this and every season will be living tribute to her. The news of Sue?s passing is such a shock. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. I am thinking of you every day. ?There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently?than 10,000 tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief and of unspeakable love.? - Washington Irving
