Dear Sue,

I am writing you for forgotten kindness. These are the things I remember you did for me, after I got my first job at the Hazel Green Hospital in 1968.

Helped me find a place to live, and make me feel welcome and part of your family.

You were part of the group that serenaded Denny and I after we were married.

A special memory of quilting on a big quilting frame with your mother and family and friends.

Taking care of me when I fell on the ice, while pregnant with Nancy.

Being a good friend while Denny was in the Service and I was alone, and then a new mother.

All your kindness when my marriage was so difficult.

All the special things you did while Nancy recuperated from being hit by a car.

For keeping in touch with me all these years later.

Thank-you for your note from Florida when my Dad died.

All your kindness has always been remembered, and now the reason for this special award.

The 2017

Love Always,

Your Friend Forever
