Our prayers and love go out to Susan's family in this hard time. Susan is now an angel and still bringing smiles to even the angels faces as she spreads her wings. Susan was a very fun, loving person. Even in the hospital when she found out she had cancer, I was with her and she told me, "I'm not ready to go yet, I'm not done pissing people off!" We both laughed. Even when she knew she was sick she was still upbeat. She was a very beautiful person inside and out. She loved life and she loved her friends dearly. She will be missed by many. God, please take care of our angel.

I met Susan three years ago, and from the first moment I did, she put a smile on my face. I STILL had one from a joke she forwarded to me on Wednesday evening! THAT'S the type of person Susan was to everyone blessed to know her. I'm glad I was one such lucky person.

I am really sorry to hear of this loss, I had
only met Sue a couple of times through the Moose
but I had heard many great things about her through my mother Nan. It had come a dailey reminder to always talk to my mom about how Sue was doing, and to always keep her in our prayers.. I would like for the
family to know that they are in our thoughts and prayers, may God be with you all during your time of need. An
please remember that Sue touched so many lives over these last few months.

God Bless,

Brian & Sharon Morehouse
