Sue,

What to say after all this time. I feel like family after having been with you and your family since 1989. Time really flies...It seems like just yesterday I was walking in the house and heard Betsy screaming, "Let me get the cat".

I remember way back in the day on the day before Christmas Eve we had you guys on the schedule and you both had just gotten home from work. Tom poured himself a drink and went in the other room for a minute and Liz and I hid his drink. He came back and looked for it, we even asked Tom if there was a problem, he said he was looking for his drink. We open the cabinet and told him we hid it in there, we all laughed like crazy!

Sue, remember the memories are all yours and there are many. Tom is in a better place and we keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. It will get better slowly, but it does get better. Two years for me and I am feeling much better!

For the better part of 16 years,until 2007, I delivered the Star Newspaper and collected bill payments every other month from the Moreys. In not really knowing him other than this relationship, Thomas Morey came across to me as a very kind and thoughtful gentleman. Perhaps something like the Howard Cunningham character on "Happy Days" I can only imagine how much of a loving father and grandfather he must have been. He must have had some impact on me. I haven't seen him or delivered his paper for at least 4 years. (David P. Kuech - Homewood, Illinois)

Sue, it's hard to be far away in Norwy at this time. You are my oldest friend. I hold you in my heart and prayers these next days, you, Betsy, Tommy, Mimma, Steve, Sam, Suzanne, Bella, Sofie & Diane.
Tonight I'm going to read Dorothy Parker poems and think of Tom and all the fun talks we had on Braeburn. Love, Ann
