The oldest of 6 children and the only girl, Sue learned early on how to raise kids and then went on to raise 4 kids on her own after a devastating divorce.
What a lovely tribute to your mom! Such a resourceful, intelligent woman who was obviously much loved. Love that photo! My sister and I were also raised by a single mom who had to scramble to support us when my dad died suddenly at Christmas 1960. He worked in the Lockheed Skunkworks under Kelly Johnson-- I remember what seemed like the entire department showing up at Forest Lawn. Sadly, seven Christmases later mom also passed away. This time of year brings so many memories. Also wanted to offer condolences on the loss of your daughter-in-law, she sounded like a brave soul. Best wishes to you and your dear wife and family in 2025. Your articles and commentary are invaluable and I look forward to your wit and wisdom as we navigate the waters ahead. Nancy
An amazing story Damon, God Bless her and Pray you and your Family are at Peace and have a Blessed Christmas season and a Healthy, Prosperous New Year!
Thank you so much for sharing about your Mom, your family and yourself. Few people have the courage, confidence and openness needed for the act. She was quite a person.
