Though our wonderful founder, Mama Sue, died more than four years ago, she remains at the very heart of our Happy House family.
The children still think about her often and speak of her with so much love.
Their memories of her continue to be a great comfort to Papa Dave — the man she always called “the love of my life” and “my rock.”
Yesterday, young Emmanuel quietly reminded us just how deeply Mama Sue’s spirit lives on here.
He went out into the garden, gathered fresh flowers, and brought them to the office to place on her desk, where Papa now sits.
It was a simple gesture, but one filled with love. A child’s way of saying: Mama Sue is still with us. Always
