Susie was a wonderful caring cousin. She always had a kind word and warm hugs for family. It seems unreal that we lost her so early in life. She was always a part of our family reunions and loved getting together. She will always have a special place in our hearts. Love to all of her special ones; Jimmy, Lisa and Angel. Always, Sandee, Pete and Christa
