I remember Sue always sweeping her porch and keeping things tidy around the yard. At that time I was just a small child, she always waved or said hi as I walked by on my paper route. Janet taught my sisters and myself to play card games like crazy `8�s and go fish when she baby sat us. I drove by her house last summer and almost expected to see her outside doing something around the yard again. I would like to thank all the Zaben�s for happy childhood memories they gave me and express deepest sorrows.
