Susie: You are so missed. I talk to you each day and hope you are listening. We shared so much, your life's stores and mine. We laughed, cussed at each other, gambled together, we would get in the car and just drive aroung looking at antigues and old houses, my pointing and you slapping my hand for getting in your way. There will never be another Susie Q in my life. I was very lucky to have you for my friend for so many years. I MISS YOU VERY MUCH and will always be greatfull for your friendship. Love Nikki

Mom invited me out to California to go on vacation with her. We traveled all over Northern California, stopped in Redding to visit my sister, then we headed to Reno. If you know Mom at all, you know she loves to gamble! Well, one night in reno turned into six. What fun we had! I remember going to bed one night and leaving her at her favorite machine, and when I woke in the morning Mom wasn't in the room. Guess where I found her? STILL at the same machine! She was tired, but she was winning! What a great time we had, she sure knows how to make me l;augh!
