Dear Mike and Cathy,
Our hearts were so saddened to hear of your daughter's sudden passing. There are really no words we can say that will ease your hearts. Children are not suppose to go before their parents. Susan always smiled with her eyes, even on the days she felt so bad. We loved to see her walk down our driveway covered in dirt, looking for something to plant in her garden. She was our very first customer.. didn't know if you knew that.
God says we will know our brothers and sisters by their actions. She was and still is the very picture of a Christian. She's family. She will be missed here. Even though we can't see her with our eyes or hug her, she will forever live in our hearts and eternally with Christ. We will see you later Susan.
Love Jerry and Lynn Campbell.

Mike and Cathy,
I am so sorry for this unexpected and untimely loss. I will always cherish the hug and grin I would receive from Susan. Her patience helping this clumsy old man to line dance will forever be appreciated.
Keeping you and the family in my prayers.

I will always remember Susan as a wonderful Christian who loved EVERYBODY! She had an infectious laugh, and was a friend to everyone she met. I will always remember Susan as a kid in our youth group at Dallas Baptist. She always made a point to be a friend to other youth, laughing with them and encouraging them. I know she is smiling down from Heaven, laughing it up with all who have gone before. She was a beautiful person, and will never be forgotten. We will see her again one day. I love you all.

God has you in his arms. Lord I pray you will bless the family and you will keep your hands on the family til they see their Angel again. I have known this wonderful family since way back when GEORGE Susan's grandpa was always whistling and pumping gas. That famous melody will never be forgotten. Susan had the same melody just speaking to her as a friend for many years. God bless this family!

Mike, Cathy, and Alyson my prayers are with you and your family. I have read so many wonderful post describing the kindness Susan displayed for others. I know all to be true because of the wonderful example your family has always shown. Susan, rest in peace my little neighbor.
John 14:1-4 Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.

Aloha to all
First, my deepest sympathies and condolences to Mike and Cathy for their loss.
I will always remember Susan as smiling and happy person. I encountered her many times at the family store usually frantically working at the counter amid the chaos in a high traffic luncheon business.
She had a smile and a kind word for all.
Mike & Cathy I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Kathy and Mike, my heart is broken for you. I have so many memories of Susan and Chad when they were in school together. Chad would always say that Susan was a sister. He, we all loved her so much. That smile of hers.....Susan was funny and so kind. Mama, Neal (NeeNee) Robinson just couldn't understand why Susan and Chad could not be boy friend and girl friend. Heaven has another bright and shinning angel.

Dear Cathy,
I am so sorry to hear of Susan's passing. I loved her like my sister. We had not talked in years but I thought of her often. Every time she crosses my mind, I can't help but smile. I have nothing to be happy memories or our years of working at Chilis and spending our free time together. Those were some of my happiest times and ones that I hold very dear to my heart. Susan was a loving person and wanted everyone to have fun and be happy. I wanted to send flowers and then read your lovely tribute. Some random person on the street or some diner at a restaurant or dog on the street will be helped in Susan's honor instead- this year and every year in Susan's honor.
Much love to you and the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you today and always.
With sympathy,
Dena Sisk Foman
