Norman & Chandler, We are so very sorry for your loss. I have known Susan since Jr. High School. She was just like a sister to me and we had remained friends when others went their separate ways. There will never be another friend like Susan. She was one of a kind. You will both be in our prayers and thoughts as you transition through this difficult period. Love, Shirley & Richard Bull
