Sorry seems to be the hardest word

Just found out last evening, the wonderful, kind woman that was my roommate at The James, passed on July 17,2012.
Susie and I became so close and promised each other to keep in touch after we both were up to it, we spoke on the phone and she was in a nursing home in Northern Ohio....I, at the time, had a whisper of a voice, told her I would call when she didn't have to keep saying "what"?
Have been calling, phone no longer in service, facebook, no activity..something told me to goggle, but until last night I couldn't remember what her real name was..I just knew her as Susie. Sitting and watching Dancing with the Stars, and all of a sudden Beverly popped into my mind, that was Susie's first name. After the show, I searched and there was her obituary......always seems to me, that sorry seems to be the hardest word, sad, so sad
