Autumn reflection
Arturo Nahum


I lost my beloved Susan on the last day of Summer so Autumn has been a time of reflection for me as I selected photos for the memorial service to honor her and her life's work. In a sense, for me, Susan is the leaf that has fallen from the Tree of Life, still colorfully bright in all my memories of the good times we had together, but alone in her uniqueness as a Renaissance Woman. Of all the people I know, Susan came closest in self-actualization--whether it be her award-winning pen & inks and acrylic paintings, her service to the indigent community as Chair of the Floating Hospital board of trustees, her work as a healer of pain as Chief Physical Therapist at New York Hospital/Cornell Medical and in her private practice for 26 years, or her love of opera, drama, gourmet cooking, travel, books, films, history and travel. She was a wonderful person and loving wife. I loved her, and I miss her dearly as my personal Winter approaches. Thank you for all your tributes and kind words.

Oesy, when I saw the beautiful leaf, I was thinking how lovely it was, not knowing it was from you this morning.

Thank you for letting us share her most amazing life....we cannot imagine what an accomplished lady Susan was but we do appreciate your letting us know more about her. Please know your friends have thought of your loss almost daily and we will walk down that road with you!

God Bless You today and in the coming days, Oesy.

Your post with the single brightly-colored autumn leaf, along with your words, is such a beautiful tribute to your wife, and I just wanted to thank you for sharing that with us. I hope soon you will be able to spend more time here. We miss you, OESY.
