Susan and I were classmates at HEHS Class of 1963. Her husband, Teddy and my husband, John, were classmates class of 1962. Our children were close to the same age and attended Gallaher, Beverly Hills and HEHS within a few years of each. They had 3 boys and we had 2 boys. Our paths crossed quite frequently. We attended reunions together and always had lots of fun. And, there was the meetings at Walmart which meant at least a good 20 minute chit chat to catch up. We will miss seeing her as we have missed seeing Teddy. Praying for peace and comfort for her boys and their families. Love Linda Litz Dunbar.

Susan Winters Drown Dawson......You were my first friend back in those days starting about 75 years ago when we both lived on 26th Street in Huthington, WV. We would walk to each others house and played together building make shift tents and playing house. We both got married and went our separate ways. I moved away to other states and when I came back to town, we would run into each other and we could pick up where we left off. You were always in my heart and I would think upon you often. Talked to her last year and she had lost Teddy, the love of her life and the grief was so profound and raw. I now am saddened by her death. I am thankful for those sweet memories in that time so long ago and have always held them close in heart and thought upon them so many times through the years. Prayers for comfort and peace for her family that she held so dear. My Sweet Friend, I will miss you..... Vicki Henderson Jackson
