I was not aware that Susie was even in Botetourt County. I haven't seen her since mom (Antha Benson) died in 1996. I live outside Charlotte, NC now and have lost touch with family. Please tell everyone how sorry I am to hear this and my prayers are with you. I wish I would be able to come, but I would love to visit sometime in the future.

Susie was such a pleasant person to sit and talk with when she was at The Glebe and also at Carrington. My wife and I enjoyed visiting.
