Angie & Pam –
My condolences on the loss of your mother.
I will always be grateful for her acceptance of the family she inherited when she married Dad and for the love and care she gave him during his last months.

I worked with Sue at Vision Care Associates and she would do anything for anybody. If you needed to switch your shift with her she would always do it and never ask for anything in return… I am going to miss this amazing, funny, kind hearted woman so much. She was so much fun to be around, and if you had a problem she ALWAYS had the answer…. RIP SUENEW… I’m going to miss you more then words can say!! xoxoxo

Pam and Angie, We are so sorry for your loss. Aunt Susie will be deeply missed by all. She would light up a room and have everyone laughing within minutes with one of her silly remarks or a story, which she loved to tell. She has completed her job here on earth and has moved on to live with our heavenly Father and the other family and friends that had gone before her, there too, she will have a lot of stories to tell. Until we meet again, God Bless.
