    Liz,
    I am SO very sorry. My heart hurts for you and your girls, and Sara. I know there’s nothing I can say to ease your pain, but if you ever need an ear or a shoulder… or even if you want to go swim some laps to blow off steam, give me a shout and I’ll come running.❤
    Dave,
    I used all my good words on Liz, so at the risk of sounding repetitive, I am SO very sorry. I’m a terrible cook so I can’t offer a casserole, only our condolences. Please know that Tim and I are keeping your whole family in our thoughts. If there’s any comfort to be had, it’s in knowing the joy that Jess must be feeling to finally be in her mother’s arms again. I know that doesn’t take away your pain, but hopefully it makes your grief more bearable- if that’s even a thing. Sigh. Words are hard. I truly am sorry for your loss.❤

    So sad to read about Sue’s passing in the Nebraska Quaterly Magazine. I worked with Sue at then Lincoln General Hospital in the laboratory. It was so easy to make a fast friendship with her. I really looked up to her as I was a freshman at UNL and she was senior sorority girl. I hadn’t seen her in so so long but will never forget her. Lori
