I will miss the encouraging messages in Aunt Susie's Christmas and birthday cards she faithfully sent to my family and me. She was a truly a blessing to many persons far-and-wide.
I had the opportunity to visit with her last December...it was the highlight of my Christmas as we shared memories of Uncle Buck and Jimmy, my mother and father, John and Sandra, and many other family members. What a joy it is to know they are all now reunited!

Marilyn, Betty, and family, I am so sorry about the passing of your mother. Aunt Susie was such a joy to see and to talk with. She had interesting stories to tell yet was also ready to listen. When she sent cards she always wrote a very personal message. John thought so much of his Aunt Susie. She spoiled him everytime she saw him. I am so glad John and David were able to spend time with her on her birthday before John passed away. I know he is thrilled to greet her now and know that he will be spoiled again. He and Jimmy will celebrate with joyful hearts to all be together again. Take care. Charlene Burch, John's wife
