What I'm feeling right now is an emptiness, a part of me is gone. I have a lot of fond memories of my twin sister Suzie...
I never called her Suzanne, she was always "My Suzie" .. We frequently laughed about her middle name "Hedwig" .. Mom named her after St. Hedwig of Poland. Suzie could never figure that one out.
Our best times were in our younger years. We lived across the street from a park so we were always there and involved in sports. She was also very smart in high school, an Honor Student.
We both worked at different banks in downtown Chicago,and at that time the banks sponsored a "Most Dissimilar Twin Contest".. needless to say we won that contest.
I could continue to mention more of all the good times we shared .. but for sure Suzie, You will be Forever with the Angels and Always in my Heart ...
Love Your Twin Sister ..Judy
