Sue taught me to " Pray out the kitchen window" when life gets tough. Okay, she said that I could yell if needed. Loved her dearly.

Lou Ann, Jimmy and Donnie, I can never tell you how much your mother made a difference in my life. Such a special friend, my confidant,encourager and a blessing to me in every respect. She always had a smile, a kind word, and knew how to make a friend feel so special. I know today she is dancing in heaven and smiling at our Lord. But I weep because I miss her so much.Your loss is so much more than mine and I will pray for you all to have peace during this time. She always assured me she had a wonderful long life, 3 wonderful children, a fabulous marriage and she was ready to meet Jesus. Angels came and took her home and we will never be the same without her smile.
With great love and sorrow for your family. Pat Adams
