“I like you” Sue said when we met for the second time, “your even shorter than me.” Sue always spoke her mind.
Like everyone who knew her I will miss Sue dearly. It was not as this day was not expected but still it was a heart stopper when I actually saw the words in print.
Sue was many things, Mother, Grandmother, loving partner, carer, teacher, friend, author and a supporter and light to us all.
We have lost a beautiful light, a beacon from our lives. Sue touched us all. I can’t believe it’s only six months since September when Sue got the news that she was terminally ill. Like many, family and friends I baulked at the inevitable selfishly I could not accept what Sue not only accepted but also embraced . She was angry, as we all would be. Amazingly she said she had too much work to finish. Too much life to live.
Sue had visits to Oxford, days out with Ducks and Grandchildren and she worked, boy she worked so hard, books written and published, books reworked and republished. Christmas Dinner prepared and eaten, cakes and mince pies prepared. If minded Sue was an unstoppable force.
I emailed Sue daily, she probably got fed up with me but I just wanted her to know I was there for her. The last email , that I sent was last night and simply said , “Dear Sue sleep well” and I put Peace as the subject. I really mean that Dear Sue sleep well. Where ever you are now in your new realm be at peace.
Sue, I don’t want to but it is time to say goodbye as you spread your wings and move to the next part of your journey. You will live forever in my heart …not only mine but many others too. You will be immortal in our memories.
With love to Stuart, Nick Alex and the girls not forgotting The Small Dog Ani.
Another feather flutters
A candle is lighted
A soul with with loved ones united.
At last there is no pain
You are free to soar again.

Beautifully expressed words for Sue. Taken too soon. She created until she could no more. So sad. 😦
Mar 30, 2021 @ 14:24:56
Yes indeed a beautiful soul
Mar 30, 2021 @ 14:27:16
You can feel so much of her spirit and character from reading her poetry. So sad.
Mar 30, 2021 @ 14:41:40
Yes you can Maje and from her eyes too 💜💜
Mar 30, 2021 @ 15:06:18

I know, Willow although it was expected it was still a shock and has left a void x
Apr 02, 2021 @ 12:46:44
She has but at least she is free now and running across her beloved Moors. 💜💜
Mar 30, 2021 @ 17:21:39
Great
Mar 30, 2021 @ 18:50:15
A lovely tribute Willow. I so wish I could have met her, but I was honoured and privileged to know her, and considered her a friend as she had such compassion when we lost Maggie. Her bravery in the face of the inevitable was phenomenal. She will be sadly missed by so many. The night sky has a new star and it is shining brightly on us all.
Mar 30, 2021 @ 19:16:47
Thank you Di, she was just an amazing person who would of looked upon you as a friend, for your kindness, honesty and your love of dogs. I too have thought there is a new star up there tonight. Watching us all from her vantage point just above the Yorkshire Moors.💜💜
Mar 30, 2021 @ 19:18:22
My poem yesterday was for her. I was thinking about her when I wrote it.
