September 14, 1953

On Sunday, September 7th, Susie Kouba passed from this world to the next. As with many people, her life included both trials and joy. Her trial was her 40 year battle with several cancers, which finally took her life.
But she also lived a life of great joy. She loved and was loved. She paid it forward because that was the right thing to do. Her joy came from helping others.
She loved animals of all kinds, from the African photographic safaris to Botswana, which she had dreamed about since she was a small child, to the birds and squirrels in the feeder outside
of the kitchen window.
She especially loved her dogs, who gave her their unconditional love. They were there to greet her at the rainbow bridge. Love from all of us.
