​In Memory of Susan Denise Atkins-Whitehouse

California Dreamin'?

Susan was born in California,
spent most of her life in California,
and passed away in California.

After first arriving in San Francisco,
 Susan traveled north with companions
and went as far as Oregon.
They had some troubles along the way:
they were not exactly
catching waves in the Pacific.

Susan later made her way back to San Francisco, 
eventually hooking up with her new friends.
Susan got on that damn bus,
and they traveled through
California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico,and Texas, 
  that being the furthest point east Susan ever saw of the country.

They eventually made their way back to California, 
and settled in there.

California dreamin'?
Not for Susan.
She was barreling down on her worst nightmare...
