I loved your mother! She was there for me when I needed her...and I am so sorry I was not there for her. Shaun and Shea, you are in my prayers. I will always remember Suzi for how she always dropped everything to come and do things for others. She had the biggest desiring heart to do for others. I am asking that the Lord fill your heart with strength, blessing you and assuring you of His love His presence, and His daily care for both of you. Janet Taylor
