The letter to Conrad, written by Susannah, said: "Dear Conrad, I can hardly believe my little boy is getting married today! I am just bursting at the thought that my beautiful boy has found the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with. I only ever got to see you in love once, and for that I will always, always be grateful. Not just that I got to see you in love but I got to see you be loved. Oh, the way she looked at you — it was like you were the only boy in the world. As a mother, there is no greater gift than to see her child be so dearly loved by another person. Today, if there is even a fraction of the love I saw then, I am more than happy; I am overjoyed. Don’t be afraid to tell her every day how very much she means to you. Cook for her, be a good listener, don’t try to win every argument. Jewelry is always welcome. Pay attention to if she wears gold or silver. If she is not a jewelry girl, then chocolate. Loving you always and forever, Mom." This letter was meant for Conrad on his wedding day and expresses Susannah's love, hopes, and motherly advice for her son as he marries the person he loves.
