The lighting of a Memorial Candle not only provides a gesture of sympathy and support to the immediate family during their time of need but also provides the gift of extending the Book of Memories for future generations.

When I was little I remember having a picnic under the trees with you when I had the measles. You took me there because you thought I wouldn’t itch as much in the shade. Those were the days before air conditioning. When I got a little older I stayed with you during the summer to babysit for you. You tried to make me eat sweet potatoes and I fed them to Jugs. I blew up a pressure cooker full of beans in your kitchen. You didn’t get mad, you said, “I guess we’ll make something else for dinner.” That was OK with me because I hated beans. I still don’t like sweet potatoes either, but you still insisted on making them for Mike when you came to visit & cook Thanksgiving dinner. After I graduated from high school we didn’t see much of each other mcuh; mainly holidays. But I always remember you laughing & telling funnies that made me laugh right along with you. Next, I remember when Talib was born. You always loved the little ones. You had a Dalmatian coat rack made with his name on it….even though you first thought his name was odd. You later said that it would not have been right to name him anything other than Talib. We still have that coat rack. Green his favorite color. There are many things about you that make me smile. I’m glad that we became close as we got older. I cherish the time that we had together. I am thankful for the bond that we forged these past 6 years. I am blessed that I had the opportunity to really get to know you. You taught me much and YOU touched my heart. You are kind. You love unconditionally. You hurt when others hurt. You held me when I cried. You were unapologetic in your honesty. You were stubborn. You are beautiful. You fought a good fight. There were days you were happy. There were days you were sad. There we days when you were frightened. But mostly I remember there were many more days that you laughed. You laughed at me. You laughed with me. You laughed at yourself. And yes, you even laughed at the nasty, ridiculous, disease that crept into your life at such an early age. You are now in that special place that you would go to visit Donnie. I hope you love in that place. I hope you dance in that place. I hope you sing in that place. I hope you do all the things that you yearned to do when you were unable to do them here. I know that place is special because you are there. You were strong. You were mighty. You were gentle. You were YOU. And I will spend every day thanking God that he gave me you for a sister. I love you Susan Diane Bowman DeWitt.
