Dearest Family,
I worked with Susie for 10+ years. She was the best friend, always there never judging and always ready to give any support you might need. Susie was our ROCK and our STRENGTH here at McCleskey. She was our heart. Even though she will not be here physically, her spirit will forever be alive with our McCleskey Family. She was so loved by all those that met her. I will never forget her. I will always carry her in my heart. I will keep you in my prayers. You are so lucky to have had her for your Mother, Wife and Sweety.

Dear family:
I have know Susie thru my cousins the Bartletts for over 35 years, I heard all the entertaining stories of when Susie and Barbara were college and post college roomates. My favorite was when Rick was trying to propose to Susie and they were watching TV . He tried to get her attention and she said."Oh, go get your own beer". Susie was the most gracious person I have ever met,always happy to see you and the best sense of humor ever. She is probably busy entertaining everyone we know in heaven already. I like to hold onto that thought of her,happy and sweet.

Dear Canfield Family,
My deepest condolences go out to you. Susie was the most wonderful person you could ever hope to know. My mom (Yvonne Losner) worked with her at McClesky. They have been good friends ever since. She has always taken such an interest in what my brother and I were doing. In February she hosted a beautiful wedding shower for my husband and I. She will always be in our hearts! We will never forget her kindness and support. Thank you for sharing the photos! I hope the good memories get you through this extremely hard time!

Dear Family and Friends,
Susie was and will always be the heart of McCleskey Middle School. She has been a beloved matriarch to all of us, unconditionally giving and sacrificing for the good of our family here, and all with a glowing smile and unwavering love and compassion. Since I started teaching at McCleskey almost five years ago, I have always said that Susie is the nicest lady that I have ever met, and I realize now how much of an understatement that truly is. Susie's physical presence will be sorely missed by all of us, but her spirit is more alive than ever now and will be with us all for eternity.
Blessings,

Dear Canfield Family,
Thank you so much for sharing your dear Sweetie with us. She was the light that kept us moving. Making sure there were wonderful goodies for the staff all day long as well as her great cakes to celebrate birthdays! Susie always put others first and never wanted the limelight. She always remembered my girls at the holidays, which made us feel so special. Susie will truly be missed. I am not sure the front office at McCleskey will ever be the same!

Dearest Emily,
I loved your precious mother. She kept me afloat at ECMS with her famous snickerdoodle cookies---a treat that teachers do not take lightly. I have great memories of sharing "mom" stories and "grandmother" stories with her. She had a powerful impact on countless adults and children. I am sad for you, your family, and your own sweet children. I know that you will keep Susie's spirit ever alive for them. My love goes out to all of you.

Dear Family...Susie was our beloved secretary for much of the time I taught at East Cobb. Secretaries have a tough job, but you'd didn't know it when she was on the job. She not only treated us teachers with great dignity and respect, but she also brought us treats and always had a smile...no matter how trivial our requests might seem to be. She inspired us to be better people, and I can think of no greater legacy. I send you wishes for peace of mind and spirit as I can only imagine how very much you will miss her.
Sincerely...Lisa Crockett
