We pray God's blessings on you and your family during these days of grieving and trust that God will comfort your hearts in Christ Jesus.

Sarah Susan was absolutely, without doubt, one of the finest Ladies I have been privileged to know in my lifetime. She and Kirby were a match made in Heaven. Old south style, charm and grace with a "welcome to our home" warm, engaging and always cheerful personality only begin to describe this wonderful woman. Kirby; your girls and their families, your friends, your church, The Good Lord, and your memories of "Soose" will hold you up in the difficult days ahead.
