If I had the room, I would create a photo montage of the many amazing sides of Sue DeSesso Falco. A photographer by trade, Sue was a healer of people by birth-right. Not sure how to express that, but she had an incredible gift to support all who came into her life. She was the driving force behind the building out and fundraising and support efforts for the Charlotte "Get your Rear In Gear Run" and colon cancer community. And since Sue came here, GYRIR and the Colon Cancer Coalition have loving helped fund other colon survivors attend Wind River retreats!!
But more importantly for me, Sue was a dear friend, a woman to admire and a person I am so thankful to have known. I first met her at 24 Hours of Booty, wearing a Superman t-shirt and red cape, and that is exactly how she lived her life ... being a champion of others. During her first visit to Wind River I remember her taking a posse of fellow participants on a photo safari. They climbed rocks, took funny photo's and even submerged themselves in the cold water! All came back grinning from ear to ear and hailing their fearless leader. ... this approach to life is how Sue was in most endeavors.
But I know her most important role was as mom and wife to Mia, Ava and John. To all of you, I say thank you for sharing Sue with the rest of the world.
