When I think about my Aunt Sue it brings a smile to my face in remembering the shared moments we had. Aunt Sue was known as the Fun Aunt, she always made sure her niece & nephews were surrounded with her love & joy. May my cousin Samantha always know what a Special Mother & Father she has, they were truly a loving couple. Our Family finds comfort in knowing Aunt Sue was greeted in heaven by her parents & grandparents and husband, we are sure Aunt Sue & Grandma Louise are enjoying a good game of Bingo & Bowling, while Granddad Jay paints his seashells & enjoying being with his girls ;*) Heaven is Blessed with beautiful Angels.

We would like to extend out sympathy to all the family. Sue was such a fun loving person and always had that smile. She and Sammie were always up to something and egged each other on. The Good Lord is going to have his hands full with them. May God Bless You and especially Samantha.

Sincerely,
Susie & Rickie Pearson and Tootsie Harper
