Susanna Reeds' Family: Although I did not get to know Sue, she sounded like a very nice person...Thomas says it will be strange to come back, to visit and she's not there. He says that she was a nice person.
May you find in the memories that are yours to cherish always, and strength in the companionship of those who share your loss.

Susan
I miss you a great deal. Your life was short and I will always remember you for your competitive nature. Though we grew apart as we grew older I will always remember the loving side of you. I love you Sue and my heart hurts. I will pray that God gives your Randy, Jason and Chad the strength to carry on. Now you can play with Dad and my grandson in the heavens. Love you and always will. Your sister,
Barbara
