I love Susan too...I remember hanging out at your parents house a few different times while Jessie wasn't even there...that's how warm and welcoming and at ease she always was. She was also my beehive teacher and I'll never forget these little pearl pendant necklaces she gave each one of the girls...I felt so lucky.Rinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16041552803827047166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397651.post-44631813863642382142009-04-03T01:17:00.000-06:002009-04-03T01:17:00.000-06:00Both such amazing women.

It brightens any day, even during an April blizzard! (And by the way, that reminds of a 1984 Wyoming April blizzard I drove through, all the way from Alberta to Denver, to see Denise ... oh, never mind.)<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Michelle, for your tribute to both Denise and Susan.

Thank you for your sweet memories and kind words.<BR/><BR/>I couldn't agree more with everything said about your mother. The other thing I said about her at the dinner table is that I have always known on which side of the Lord's line she stands.

She definitely seems worthy of all the praise you have shared. I too, am in awe of your sweet mother. She is the friend that keeps on giving! She has been a huge influence for good in my life and one of my dearest friends. I could go on and on about her! The Peterson women(you and Jessie included) have so many talents, I can only say that you all are wonderful ladies with endless talent! I can't talk about your mom and Denise without mentioning the ever wise mother who raised them. I love to hear your mother share your grandma's wisdom, it is priceless!
