You were my first "girlfriend" and our pet name for you was Susie, and my pet name was Ginny Lee. Your Mom gave you that name, and where it came from, we don't know! But you were there almost all my life (I'm older than you, but don't tell anyone!). We were always close, and everyone thought we were sisters because we looked alike, same height, same size, and both mischievous! Remember when Travis was born and we were at the hospital with Angie? The Dr came in to examine her, and his first words were, "I don't know either of you, but I know you've got to be sisters! You look just alike!" I was your Mom's first child, even tho she was my Aunt. Then Tom (to us, Butchie!) came a year after I did. Bert, my sister, came next, and then, lo and behold, you came along! We spent our childhood summers together at our Grandparents' house in Belmont, NC. Remember when we all had chickenpox together! If that wasn't a time!!! I wrote to you and your family every week when I was growing up. They still felt I was their child as much as you were and your Dad and Mom didn't hesitate to get after me for anything and everything! I'm still dealing with not having you around, it's so hard to imagine, and my heart hurts. But I know you won't suffer anymore, and you're there to hug my Mom and Dad, your Mom and Dad, and our Grandparents for me......please tell them I love them and miss them. You were my last link to my Mom's family, and I'll always love and miss you. See you in my dreams!!!! <3
