Cameron and family- I was terribly shocked to hear of your mom's passing. I've not seen her or talked to her in years, but I remember her very well. I remember the walks that we used to take at night and all of the laughing we used to do. I'm so very sorry that all of you are experiencing this right now. I can't even imagine what you must all be feeling. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and God Bless all of you.

Brandi,
I really do understand what you and your family is dealing with. I pray for you in these tough times, and with time the pain will be less. Just remember the good time and that will help you. This poem always helped me....
You Were There
When I look back on my life there will only be a few people
who met me at the crossroads. People who knew what I needed
long before I did...who weren't afraid to risk our relationship
by telling me what I should hear...who lifted me up and gave
me the courage to continue.
Looking back on our relationship, I realize you are
one of those people. I have to believe God sent you to
help Him move me in the direction He wanted me to go.
Thank you for being there for me, and for Him.
God Bless you and your family during this time and beyond!
Jenni Morrison(Clarke)and family.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Susan was a wonderful woman, and I will never forget her. She was always so very kind to my boys and I. She could always make my little boy go to sleep when she cut his hair. She thought that was so cute. She always took good care to make my ailing mom look beautiful. I will miss her. She always went out of her way to accommodate any appointment times we needed even last minute. She will be sadly missed.

I've been walking around with tears in my eyes for three days. My aunt Susie is gone. But at the same time I can smile because now I know she is looking over my shoulder. She is looking over all of our shoulders'. I spent most of my childhood summers with aunt Susie in Elmwood. The Hogue family was my family. They took me in as their own and treated me like gold. I'll never forget all the good times I had hanging out aunt Susie, uncle Gary, Donny, Brandy and my "partner in crime" Cameron. I felt more at home with you guys than I did anywhere else. I know I'm not supposed to pick favorites but Susie was mine. She always seemed happy and her presence made me feel warm and comfortable. I always loved the way she had a nick-name for everyone. She always called me Jean-Claude and when I called her Cindy (Crawford) I could get her to do anything for me. It was great especially when I wanted some of her awsome corn fritters. I think I'll make some myself this weekend. I love you aunt Susie and I'll miss you until the day I join you. Gary, Donny, Brandy and Cameron; I love you guys too and I'm so sorry for your loss. Please forgive me for not being there right now but I will see you all Friday to pay my respects. Keep your heads up and breathe easy. All the stresses of life have been relieved and all the angels in heaven will soon have their own nick-names. Love, Shaun

Gary & family, I was so shocked and am very, very sorry to hear about Susan's tragic accident. Your children and my children went to school together and I went to her hair salons while I lived in Elmwood. My best memory was her trying to fix Amber's, Carrie's, and Danielle's "fake" hair for the Lip Sync contest when they were the "Supremes". I remember her being a very caring family person and I am sure you all will miss her terribly. My thoughts are with you all during this trying time.
