In the year of Our Lord; Nineteen hundred, seventy to seventy-one , I clumsily stumbled into the company of a most fascinating creature: Angelic in my eyes, the sweetest visage imaginable. A sparkling smile, which lifted her soft, lightly freckled cheeks, causing her vibrant eyes to squint, adorably. Her ringing laughter which could transform the disposition of even the most surly of individuals into a state of delight. And hair,.. hand spun by cherubim from pure sunlight. This young lady was generously gifted by God to my generation. The sort of precious gift which God sparingly bestows, especially upon undeserving sectors of humanity. A gift from God with which I can claim the privilege of a close, personal acquaintance. This angelic creature, worthy of her own marble pedestal, found it not beneath her station to befriend me. Me,.. a worm without discernable redeemable quality.  She possessed a gift which allowed her to perceive beyond the outward miscreation, to envision hidden attributes, which were, at least in her estimation, redeemable.
That redemptive spark that Susie gifted to me, allowed me to acknowledge a mote of self-value and consequently repent of a destructive lifestyle…I now bequeath back into her custody, that redemptive spark, with the prayer that it transform into a “Crown” of spiritual gold, tempered to become a diadem worthy of being cast at the feet of our Savior. Susie, my dear friend..Rest peacefully with solace in the arms of He who loves you best.
It is at the risk of substantial disapprobation, I have posted this eulogy/memory. My intention is purely honorable, bespeaking only the highest form of respectful gratitude. I wish her family to know that the temporal void created by her passing is felt well beyond her immediate circle.
