The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Family mattered most to Trochesset
Two weeks ago Ms. Sue passed away, and like most deaths we had a reality jolt. I feel so blessed that our daughters met her and shared a few special moments of her life.
To me, Grandma Sue was an icon. She represented a slower time, where family comes first - the same things I am trying to teach my girls. I want them to be lively, spunky ladies, yet always have a smile and kiss for family. I want them to appreciate the warm gentle touch of a hand, and idle chatter about weather while peeling potatoes. I want them to have her gift of southern hospitality and generosity. Everyday I want to see reminders of Grandma Sue in the actions of our family.
What a gift she has given our family and once again I say, "I feel very blessed".
Thank-you Grandma Sue.
