I was so sorry to hear about the death of Susan. I grew up near her, and have known her family all my life. She always had a smile on her face, and seemed so happy. I will remember all of you in my prayers.

Dear Family of Mrs. Susan,

I was so sorry to hear about Mrs. Susan's passing. She was a dear, sweet lady whom I know will be greatly missed by family and friends. I guess the Good Lord just needed to add another rose to his rose garden. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Lisa Spigner
