Mrs. Ross had a great impact on my life, she was almost like a high school mom. She is the reason I'm a military nurse. Thanks Mrs. Ross for your encouraging words, that made a BIG difference in the choices I have made. You will be truly missed...

What a joy and a blessing to have had Susan in our families lives for the last 25 years. She taught our youngest Chris at Alta Woods Kindergarten and then was with both our son's at Byram & Terry. She had a glow about her from the inside out that made everyone she was around feel special. Our prayers for peace and comfort for her family will continue, but we know where she is and that one day we will all meet again.

Our hearts are broken about Susan's passing. She was one of the most beautiful people both inside and out that we have ever known. Susan was loved by everyone who had the pleasures of knowing her. We loved her, as well, as our sons who she counseled at Terry High School. We shall hold dear the many memories we have in our hearts of Susan.
We are sure Brad was happy to see this sweet lady as she entered the Heavenly Gates.
Praying for the family. Blessings, Jerry and Fredna Gibson
