Recognition: Memorials

In Memory of Sue Mace


	To Shed A Tear By Helen P To look at life is to see The gushing of a waterfall bubbling in the lonely wilderness The silence of a newly snow covered forest outling a frozen pond The soft colors of a quiet sunset painting the sky on a late afternoon The warm flames of a fireplace dancing in honor of a cold winter's night The birds singing high in the treetops on the first spring day The ocean of roaring waves breaking and covering the beach with white foam The lovely wetness of dawn as the dewdrops glisten in the morning sunshine To see the wonder of it all And to find comfort in looking at all of these beautiful things and realizing that you are part of them now Thank you Sue for having given us the honor of wrapping us within your wings and guiding us back. We shall miss you. The PHCentral Staff

I always admired Sue's optimism and love for life. Even when she was in the midst of struggles with PH, she kept her disposition upbeat and caring. I will miss her as a friend and as a moderator. She was always willing to do her part, even during the tough times.

With Love,
Lisa

Sue will be greatly missed by me as I've been here a long time and she was always there for me or whoever. Always trying to lift our spirits.

She was a constant worker for this site and will definitely be missed. For all of us you have my sympathy at our Loss as does her family

I got to know Sue through her diary. It is remarkable to me how tight a group the diarist have become over time. It's a very supportive environment and it gives us a way to know people from all over the planet we would never have a chance to meet under any other circumstance.

Sue was just a joy, terrible, brutally honest and life-loving in spirit. I really had to admire her for trying to see the bright spot when sometimes those were tough to find.

I miss her. We all miss her.

Sue was my first Phriend on PHC and we actually got to meet at the conference in Minneapolis. That was the highlight of my experience at conference, meeting Sue, because she was so special. We got close through the diaries and I still look for her comments, because they were always there. I loved the trips she would take us on to get away from reality. I know she has a spot in Heaven working her garden.

I have visited this page a few times and have found it difficult to write. I believe in writing here i have finally accepted after a week or so of no communication with my online friend Sue, that she has truly gone :(

I first met Sue i think at the end of 2007, i know it was after Tim died and she immediately connected with me as a parent. Sue had empathy for me as another mum and after i got to know her more i realized it was because Sue was a strong family woman with mothering taking priority in her life. Through her honest diary of the trials,tribulations and joy of parenting and my diary full of parental grief we seemed to click and become great mates. I will miss her sense of humor and her candid diary entries, this was really important to me. You could tell she did not edit, or re edit just wrote from her heart good and bad - i respected her for this. A LOT! Sue's love for Mike, Becca, Elicia and Jeanne Sue shone through her words. I send all of you my love and remind you to be so very kind to yourselves and Sue to you i thank you for being so understanding and kind to me- you will nor be forgotten.

All our love
Annie and family
