Don't cry for me. I will be okay. Heaven is my home now, and this is where I'll stay. Don't cry for me. I'm where I belong. I want you to be happy and try to stay strong. Don't cry for me. It was just my time, but I will see you someday on the other side. Don't cry for me. I am not alone. The angels are with me to welcome me home. Don't cry for me, for I have no fear. All my pain is gone, and Jesus took my tears. Don't cry for me. This is not the end. I'll be waiting here for you when we meet again.

A gathering will be Thursday, February 8, 2018, at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions, Southwest Louisville Chapel, 10304 Dixie Highway, Louisville, KY from 3pm-6pm with a celebration of Sue's life beginning at 6pm.

Sue's favorite scripture was Psalms 27:1. "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid?"

There are no goodbyes, but until we see each other again.
