THE LOSS OF SUE

JUNE 25, 2015

MY HEART IS HEAVY.

Heaven just got much more beautiful with it's newest resident my friend Suzanne Ferrara.

The call that we were all dreading, but yet knew was eventually coming. Well it came today.

Sue had begun her brand new journey after what has been an 12 plus month struggle where Sue COURAGEOUSLY battled STAGE 4 LUNG CANCER.

I had the pleasure of visiting with Sue last year after she was newly diagnosed. Davelynn and I went to visit Sue in Atlanta at a clinic that she was attending thanks to friends who had organized a fundraiser to come together and help Sue fight this horrible disease.

While visiting last year we promised to visit again the following years knowing that the LOVE,SUPPORT & PRAYERS that were surrounding Sue would allow her to FIGHT the FIGHT.

THAT SHE DID.

I returned this year thirteen months after our first visit.

I was able to spend my birthday with my dear friend. I was blown away by Sue's Strength, Courage and will as she battled this illness.

We had three special days that I will cherish forever.  So happy I was able to make the return trip.

6 weeks later Sue's fight had come to an end.

Her family unselfishly shared Sue's journey with us all and we were all made better people beacause of it.

THANK YOU SCOTT,CARLY & VINCE.

6 days before Sue's passing she was admitted to the hospital and placed in hospice as it was determined the end of this journey was in the process.

Sue was able to SURRENDER & LET GO KNOWING & FEELING how very LOVED she was as her family allowed all of us to post messages on her facebook wall which they read to her.

LOVE LOVE LOVE....SURROUNDED BY LOVE.

What a blessing and a beautiful way to begin her new journey.

Sue, THANK YOU FOR YOU. THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME.

I will miss you my friend.

But I will be ok, because I know that you are ok.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF MY LIFE. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.

FLY FREE. EMBRACE THIS WONDERFUL NEW JOURNEY THAT YOU ARE ON.
