Hello my name is Angie Couch and Susie was my Sister-n-law. My heart is very heavy with her sudden passing.Susie and I had just reconnected. She came out to California to surprise her Dad for Xmas. I know now that that xmas will never be forgotten. Susie had turned her life around and we were all so very proud of her. I have many fond memories of our time together in California. Susie had a special talent. She never met a stranger. By the time she got done talking with them...they were best friends. She was a very loving Mother. She loved her boys unconditionaly!
She is gone but she will NEVER be forgotten. I imagine her dancing across heaven with her Mom and Daughter. I know they were waiting for her with open arms when she arrived.
I want to thank those that are able to help the boys at this time. I know they are well taken care of. Susie will now be an Angel watching over them.
Love ya Susie,
Your Sister-n-law

Ok I will try this again as my first post I was not up to saying much, sue was my big sister and over the years we stayed very close though all the good and bad times of her life. Sue was a very smart person that just never got the BIG break she was looking for. It was not tell she got on with CEI in Virginia that she seemed on her way to turning her life around for the better and I would like to thank a of you at CEI very much for being so good to her and giving sue that big chance, I know she was proud of being part of your company THANK YOU.
My other sister and my dad will miss her deeply but we all know that she is now resting with her mom and daughter and will no longer have to deal with ay more pain.
Also I want o take time to thank all of you that are and will be there for Brad and Alex both of these boys means the world to me and Brad has done a fine job of taking care of arrangements for my sister and to have to do so at his age shows he has become a fine young man Thank you son.
I will end with saying how much I will miss sue my big sister who I miss deeply now and will forever love and miss
