Tribute to Sue

Sue was active in this blog so I felt it was fitting to post. Sue has just passed and we consider her a dear friend - her husband Richard as well. Quite a bit ago, Lalla Ward created an art piece for Havanese Rescue. I had hoped to win the bid but the price went up over my budget.  I was happy for rescue.  We asked Lalla if she could do another one and we would pay. Sue said she would love to learn how to do it so we hooked her up with Lalla who she was a huge fan of  Richard was too. Lalla was kind enough to show her how to do it and Sue did this piece for us of Spice who she knew I love dearly. I am glad that I have this on my wall as it is as if Sue remains here as a memory that was filled with love.

Sue and Richard have their Havanese, Calleigh. Over time Sue filled me in on all her quirks and fun, which havanese are. She also filled me in on her own health battles. As Lynda was going through hers, Sue was also going through hers. She always cared how Lynda was doing and how I was doing with this transition in life that seems to occur. Why can't we live always? We considered both dear friends.

I am emotionally drained and my heart goes out to the family, most of all Richard, her dear husband.

That picture of Spicy is absolutely beautiful, I've admired it since the first time you posted it, she was so talented.

Such a wonderful tribute.

I am so sorry to hear about Sue. My heart goes out to you, Nathan Richard and family. What a beautiful tribute. These are difficult times and loosing those you love during our Pandemic is even worse. Remembering the good times will help get you through this. But it is hard. Darlah stay strong. You have been going through a lot. Cuddles from our dogs is probably the best medicine. It works for me.

It's going to sound strange but I have folders of all the mail and messenger posts in the respective folders so I can one day look back and smile. I did that with Lynda too! There are some people that are truly golden and I feel lucky to have had them in my life!
