Errol, you were so fortunate to have gotten to see her "Mame" performance.
Yes, I am remembering Susan today also. It's really hard to imagine that if she were still living, she would be 92 years old. Many people still have productive lives at that age. I teach a piano student who is 103! I just often feel like that she, her family, and all of us were cheated. On the positive side, I'm thankful for the time she was here and the gifts she gave to us to continuously enjoy.
She would be surprised, I think, to know how lovingly she is remembered.
You brought tears to my eyes with your memories but I think all of us who love Susan are feeling a little sad today.
I will add my Birthday Wishes to her and truly believe she does know NOW what she meant to her fans. I know my life has been richer for "knowing" her, for want of a better word, for the past almost 60 years. It seems we were all children when we let her into our hearts and here we are, still talking about her and loving her as much, if not more than ever.
Thank you Dear Susan for all the pleasure you have given me over the years which is ongoing. You certainly will never be forgotten - God Bless You.
My thoughts are with Tim, Nadia, Michael, Ally, Greg and Suzanne, Christopher, Andy and Daniel. They must be so proud to know that Susan meant so much to so many people over the whole world and how we personally have been so enriched by her reaching out to us from the silver screen.
Thanks Errol for your touching words and memories especially seeing Susan in Vegas as Mame. She made such an impact in my life, there are times when she appears in my dreams. I know she is looking down on all of us not only on her birthday but every day. She certainly touched us all in one way or another.
A Star, Is A Star, Is A Star....Happy Birthday Susan,
I love you very much now and always.
