To the family:
My thoughts and prayers go out to each of you at this time. I worked with Susie at halmode. She was a very special lady. She was always talking about her family. Her highest concern was for the family. I never heard her say a cross word the whole time I knew Susie. We kept in touch for a while after leaving Halmode, even went out to eat a few times but just like all things we lost track of each other. She is resting now and is at peace . In Cjristian love LINDA CALDWELL

Hi Jean, Joyce and Family,

So sorry to read of Aunt Sue's passing. We know she will be greatly missed. Wish we were closer and could be with you at this time but we have been in Tennessee for almost six years now.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Love,

Nick and Dellaphene Eades
