A Little Public Grief


Suellen J. Miller
September 23, 1951 - December 10, 2010
 


Her first of many trips to Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago

A student at St. Gabriel's School in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.

Suellen tells the photographer exactly how many seconds he has to take his camera out of the church kitchen while she's preparing Thanksgiving Dinner for 100.

Youth.


She had her picture taken in front of this same mailbox in Lincoln, England, 10 years apart. This is the later picture.

At the Scott Polar Institute in Cambridge. Lawrence of Arabia's brother served as model for this statue, so Suellen got to combine two loves: Lawrence and Polar Exploration.

Napping with Waveland, her "Kitty in a Big Boy Suit." Waveland was Suellen's cat, no doubt about it. It was 6 months before he acknowledged I was good for anything except opening cans and cleaning poop out of his litter. He'd drop me in a second if she walked back through the door.

I was thinking of you both this morning, Bob. Suellen lives on in our hearts.
