Ann Smith published a comment She could sing and dance and make music. She could write and draw and paint. She was funny and kind and generous and absolutely in love with life. She always had a unique point of view and a talent for nurturing other people's creativity. In her eighties she still had the enthusiasm of a puppy when she got excited about an idea. As a member of the Art and Aesthetics team of the Durango UU Fellowship Sue was spearheading the development of our First Annual Ekphrasis Exhibit and I am thrilled to learn (reading here) that her Iris poem and painting are already ready and waiting for us to display whenever we are finally able to gather again in the Bowman Hall art gallery. We didn't get nearly enough of her here in Colorado but her precious and luminous spirit and the treasure of her friendship will live on. In her book, "as if by Magic" there is a chapter titled, MAYBE IN HEAVEN where she muses that she'll finally have enough time to play that harp! At last.

John Purcell published a comment At 88 years old, I'm saddens to find Sue's obit. I ice skated with Sue at Carlin's Ice Rink when she lived in the Rodger's Forge Community on Dunbarton Ave. and I attended Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. I was very shy, but Sue became my good friend there with her caring personality. She was the must pleasant and cheerful young lady I ever knew. I will see her again in eternity. RIP, Sue.

Moving from Maryland to Colorado, from the familiarity of living for fifty years in one town to calling the strangeness of new streets and faces home, from the independence of home ownership to the smaller digs of a condominium, from mid-life toward the final chapters, from physical agility toward the slow infringement of bodily limitations; all amount to change, but, while throwing away treasures collected through 79 years of life, I am struck by the metaphoric parallels between physically moving across the country and mentally moving into a very different stage of life. I feel like the poster child for evolution. The painful, but freeing exorcising of past lives exposes the bare truth of dying backward in order to live forward. Apprehension and fear of unknowns float through the purgatorial no-where months of not belonging to where I have been or where I am going. During this unsettling time I recall a dream, which might seem unrelated but gratefully, it shifts my thinking toward broader horizons.

Donna Osterby Brien published a comment I have a painting I did to illustrate a story Sue wrote for an event of mine. i don't have the story but you might find it when clearing up stuff. But I will see if I can post the painting. It was illustrating her dream of finding people in Colorado with whom she would be in the same spirit. They are throwing colored balls to each other symbolizing their similar interests and personality.
