I love Sue Ford! She is such a fun person to spend time with!! She is a great teacher…always teaching!! I am pretty positive that she will continue to make everyone she is with feel like they are one of her most favorite persons to be with!! I am very thankful that our Father in Heaven saw fit to have our paths cross while we were here on this side! I am looking forward to seeing her smile again and getting a great big hug on the other side!! Again, I love Sue Ford!!
Sue was always there for me. As a new mom, I moved to Florida away from family. She was like a second mom. She was the first person besides my husband and son to see our daughter, Jessica, at the hospital. She always made the best meals - my husband rarely over eats but would do so every time we had dinner at there home, it was just that good. Greg and Sue made the best team - they worked so good together!! My 30th birthday fell on September 11th- that awful day when the towers fell. Sue thew me a surprise 31st birthday party. I could go on and on. The lessons she taught me about love and service, her cooking tips, the amazing gifts she would give. My life is so changed for the better because I know Sue and Greg Ford. Love you dear friend and I look forward to a joyous reunion when we meet again.
My words fail me. My thoughts are overwhelming. My emotions range from sadness to exhaustion. My spirit is peaceful yet defeated. No amount of time, no amount of warning can prepare you for saying goodbye to your mom. I have been truly blessed to have had the last two weeks to care for her, to sit with her, to hold her hand, to tell her I love her, to sit with my dad and siblings and laugh, cry, remember and to love her. I've been blessed with 48 years of my life with her. Yet it was not long enough.
She had the heart of a giant that loved all around her. Everyone felt like they were her best friend. She knew everyone's stories and cared about them. Over the last four months the pouring in of people through notes, flowers, visits, texts, calls, can't forget the food, testified to the many lives she touched. When her words were no longer coming easily a smile crossed her face and the sweet words love you were heard. Her heart baffled the doctors, it was so strong and I believe so full of love that it kept her with us longer than we thought we would have with her
Mom Susan Ford you are leaving a huge hole in this life. But your memories, your kindness, your love, your teaching, your art, your words, your love, your smile, your laugh, your larger than life personality have touched so many that their effects will forever move forward making this world a better place. I love you. I miss you. I love you the most. I'll see you soon.
