Dear Sweet Mary Belle, Brenda, pals Ron, Jerry and Steve and Susie's married family,
Sweet baby Susie was a doll to me during our childhood in Jerome. We played and she held her breath to get her way. All the Millers were my second family. Her picture looks like the little girl I knew, not even older. I send my love and sympathy to all and would love to meet you again.

Susan and I are cousins and friends since the early days. She is 7 months younger than me,so we grew up together, had great times, many laughs, many tears, got into much trouble and laughed so hard until we cried. So many memories I can't even begin. But, I'll never forget you Susan and you smile. I suppose you and your Daddy are having a blast!!! I know Grandma & Granddaddy Campbell are happy to see you. I'll never forget when you choked on the beachball candy in the car and your Daddy had to stop close to the Jerome store and turn you upside down for the ball to come out and then said he out to beat both of our bottoms..........

I met Susan about 6 years ago. At first she seemed very shy and quiet but that didn't last long. She was kind, generous and very humorous. I loved her humor! She and I shared the love of animals. Especially cats. We took turns buying bags of cat food to feed the strays in the neighborhood. We would worry when one didn't show up for breakfast. I treasured Susan's friendship. My heart goes out to Gary and the families. May God bless all of you help ease the pain of your loss.
Your friend,
Monica

I met Susan about 6 years ago. At first she seemed quiet and shy but that didn't last long. She was so kind and generous in more ways than one. I mostly loved her humor. We shared the love of animals. Susan and I used to take turns buying bags of cat food to feed the stray cats in the neighborhood. We would both worry if one didn't show up for breakfast. I will remember Susan with many fond memories. May God bless Gary and the families.
Your friend,

So many great days swimming and just hanging out. Those were simple and fun summer days with no worries. I'm so happy to have known her and will always have such great memories of our times together.

It was with a heavy heart I read of Susan's passing. We became friendly when our 'city' family moved to Jerome in the mid 50's and her family had Uncle Tom's Park. Of all the great people in that community, Susie always made me feel as one of them and not the city kid. I remember her great warm smile, her humor, and her love of all animals great and small. In the pool she wouldn't allow anyone to smoosh the newts, we had to put them on the edge and watch them scurry away to safety.
I know my siblings extend their sympathy to Susan's family at the loss of a relative and true friend. Be assured that she made many people happier as a cheerful little hostess at Uncle Tom's.
