We will miss you dearly. I was heartbroken to hear of Susan's passing. I met Susan in 2007 when we worked for the same oil & gas company. We immediately became good friends and I felt as if I had known her my entire life. She loved BLT's, as I did, and many a time we would share one for breakfast while exchanging stories about our children, grandchildren and our extended family. Family meant the world to Susan. Three of the top things she loved very much...her family, LSU and shopping for her grand kids.

Condolences to all the family and may she rest in peace in the arms of our Heavenly Father.

Hugs, Sylvia & Marcelo Gutierrez

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Losing someone we love can bring so much pain, no matter the circumstance we can never prepare ourselves for this. Remember that Jesus knows the pain you are experiencing at this time, one day something will be done so we can see those we love again. So until that time may your family find comfort in the words at John 11.

Susan was such a sweetheart. She was so thoughtful. Most conversations we had were of her bragging about her kids and grand kids. She was so funny. She had hundreds of stories. She always made me laugh and could laugh at herself too. She was such a kind and giving person. She will certainly be missed. This is heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with you Tommy, Jasen, Stefanie and Jake.

The world lost a beautiful, engaging, positively gracious person the day Susan died. We can only trust that her spirited soul resides in her children and grandchildren so that this earth won't seem so empty without her. We'll all miss you, Susan. Tom, you have a hard road ahead, but always remember that she is just a thought away and your friends and family are always beside you. She was so lucky to have you by her side through her pain and fears.

Tommy,
I have known you and Susan forever. It's been over 30 years. I know every time you come to town you stop by and visit. I hadn't seen you all in a while. I will always remember her. When you are in town you can still drop by. I will see you Saturday. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. If there is anything you need while you are here let me know. Love you all.

Tom and Family,
Susan was such a wonderful person and the best storyteller ever. She didn't take herself too seriously and shared so many funny stories about the silly things she did, or that happened to her (or Tommy). But more importantly, she made me feel special when I was with her. As I said today, nothing came before her family, she loved you all so much. I will keep you in my heart.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. When I think of Susan I remember her stories about her accent; some people thought she was from New York and what a hoot to hear her tell about those conversations setting them straight. Linda Onstott
