THINGS YOU SMILE AT

~ by Susanne Wiltberger

You smile when you see a pretty wreath
Or make a jolly snowman
And turtle shells and holly bells
And the gift that you bring
To the Lord when you sing
And that special light
That shines all day
And then all through the night

We first met Sue when she stopped into the HEART Adoption Center wanting to volunteer. Her love of animals was soon apparent and she gladly did whatever was asked of her no matter how dirty the job. Not only did she work her own weekly shifts, but filled in for others and stopped in daily to visit with her feline family. Sue wasn’t afraid of any cat and became an excellent “scruffer” for those cats needing shots, meds or manicure. Unfortunately, she earned a few “battle scars” along the way but it never deterred her. She loved all the cats equally.

Sue loved greeting visitors to the HEART Adoption Center and telling them about the residents. She especially loved children and spent extra time with them answering their questions and teaching them about the rescued animals. Sue made every animal at the Adoption Center a needlework heart with their name on it for their cage door – every time a new animal arrived Sue would show up the next day with a personalized heart – plus also donating some of her artwork for various HEART fundraisers. Many scared cats benefited from Sue’s kind words, gentle touch and warm lap.

Sue faced many challenges but never complained or felt sorry for herself – she was more concerned in what she could do for others. She will be greatly missed by all.
