Every school day, I rode the bus to Del Norte High School. And nearly everyday for two-years, I watched as Susie Robison got on the bus at the entrance of Mill Creek State Park.
That was the extent of my interaction with Susie. From where I sat, she was painfully shy, with her head slightly cocked to one side in her cute way as if avoiding eye-contact.
I was too afraid to speak to her, not because of shyness, but because I could never think of anything to say.
The one thing I will always remember of Susie is the fact that I rarely ever saw her without a smile. It was always nice to see, especially on days when things weren’t so bright.
She graduated from Del Norte High in 1980. Three years later she married her husband, Allan Morris.
Susie went home to be with our Lord, February 6, 2011 at the age of 49.
