My deepest condolences go out to the family. I thank God that we were able to get Susie down there to see her before she past. I know she is hurting not being there with you guys, but I told her the most important thing is that she saw her Grandma and was able to spend precious time with her and the family before she was called home to Heaven. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

You are such a amazing mom...you brought the brightest of light to me and the darkness of a broken heart and there would be no one else on earth that I would allow that from but you. You know I would walk a million miles to have you here but I know now that God picked you up and has carried you back home. With that you know no suffering, no more pain. My heart will always be worn on my sleeve for you and I will remind myself that you are with Dad and the rest of our family. Keep the light on mom I'm right here with you, I love you.
