Sutton Reunion
Maryland, August 2008


In retrospect of our family...

  • "The love of a family is life's greatest blessing" - Unknown
  • "If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance." - George Bernard Shaw
  • "You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them." - Desmond Tutu

From Mike & Terry:  An open letter to Bill & Cindy

To my brother and his beautiful and forgiving and tolerant wife, Cindy... thank you!  Thank you for hosting the 2008 Sutton Family Reunion.  As you read this, take a deep breath... the good news, it's over... and everyone has left your house. 

We, as a family, also thank you for your wonderful hospitality and the memories you have created (yes, all of them).  Terry and I have been through this from our reunion in Tampa... and we did our best to prepare you!... but it's quite spectacular when it finally hits.  After all, we are Suttons... and we've been trained for this!  Your house and yard were a beautiful setting for a chance to spend time with the 40 people in our family that attended... and to talk about those who couldn't attend.  It keeps our family strong, our spirits high... and for me, makes me proud to be a Sutton.  You helped to create special memories for myself and Terry... and I know from speaking with others that they feel the same. 

Bill and Cindy... we speak for our entire family... and thank you for an outstanding weekend!  And more good news... you don't have to host the next one! 

With love... Mike and Terry... and the entire Sutton family!

PS:  The next reunion location will be determined shortly by a drawing from a hat.  (For those that didn't attend, your name gets entered twice!). Any volunteers want to step forward before the drawing?!
