To my former neighbor and friend - we shared so many weekends together all those years ago, watching our boys play soccer, drinking a beer on the patio, even our trip to Lake of the Ozarks together - what a blast! Our two sons are still close. You lived life well.

If I could send Sue a letter I would say--Auld lang syne my friend of long ago. We laughed and cried together many, many times. The tears I shed today are a mixture of both. Sadness for your family grieving and happiness because I believe you are now able to hold your mother and Christie in your arms, hug your dad, Diane and Velma. Yes--Auld lang syne will always be our song. My condolences to all who will miss your humor, love and laughter. Love, Kay Albright Gwinn.
