To the Haskins/Veney Family. When you lose someone very precious, no one else can really know how you feel. May it comfort you to know your loved one gained a brilliant new life in the Lord's everlasting light. Susan came to us a little over a year ago. She brought the arts, a different culture and a unique style of her own to the staff, parents and children @ AAEHS. She will truly be missed. No one knows the plans that God has for us, but I am glad that he directed Susan to us for a while. May God continue to bless you during this difficult time..... He heals the brokenhearted.............
