  1. John, as you most definitely know, Susan was a very caring, devoted and reliable person. My family really appreciated her unwavering commitment to all the people she touched while working with us over the years. Her keen insights and take charge work ethics were really tremendous tributes to the type of person Susan was. I know we will all miss her very much, but fortunately we were left with so many fond memories to help keep her wonderful spirit alive and well. We will miss Susan but we will not forget her.

  2. This is one of my favorite Blessings, that we used when I was the Yourth Coordinator at the Church,
    Which I still love to this day.

    May the Lord bless you & keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine
    upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up His countenance
    upon you & give you peace.

    Mr Joe says:
    Don’t be sad cause it’s over – be happy cause it happened.

    You are so blessed to have had her for such a long time.

  3. John, I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers go out to and your family during this difficult time. Herb & Audrey Davies The Villages, Fl.

  4. I loved Susan’s laugh. I will miss having wonderful talks about the Lord with her. She was such a good neighbor; she watched out for packages being delivered to our house. She would quickly take them back to her house for safekeeping. She had a soft, tender spirit and deep heart to serve others.
