We are so saddened to hear about your loss. We just heard from a friend last night , we had no idea! Susan was a dear friend from her Salisbury days and Jean and foster were dear dear friends. Susan was so kind to us when we lost our daughter two years ago. We will
never forget her smiling face and bright smile. Please know we are sending love your way. We will have to miss this service this Sunday as we had previous plans in the mountains with our son and grand daughter . We hope to see Jean though when she is in Salisbury.
