Well, I really don't know exactly where to begin. Miss Suzyq was a Christian lady if there ever was one. She lived it every single day. She was there if you ever needed her or just to talk. She alway's had that special smile anytime you seen her. I will forever miss her not only as my friend, but she was my computer buddy as well. She is now with her Heaven Father and her son, mother and sister and all her loved one's that preseded her. I know without a doubt she would not change a thing. ! Miss Suzy , I will miss you ,but I will not say "Goodbye" I will say " See You Later"! Jimmie, remember that somebody is Praying for you . All of us are !! Friend's forever !

Jimmy,

I just wanted to let you know you are in my heart and prayers. I'm not sure if you know, but I will be induced in the morning (I'm having a girl). I will have Brian call you when she arrives. I am so sorry I had to miss Suza's service. You and Suza will always hold a special place in my heart. When Keith died you and Suza took me in like your own. Suza always told me that I was her daughter she never had. I lost a boyfriend and you two lost a son but neither of you ever stopped being there for me no matter how much you hurt too. Suza would always tell me it was okay to cry and hurt. You have to hurt to move forward. She was such a special person. God gave you both special loving hearts. You both have always made me a special part of your lives and you will never know how much that means to me. Please know that I will always be here if you need anything. I love you very much. I know Keith and Suza are smiling down on you now.

We were so sorry to hear about Suza. We did not know she was ill. I know you will miss her greatly but just be conforted in knowing she is where she wants to be. Home at last! Even though we will miss her terribly I know that she has completed her race here and is now on to better and greated things that we can not imagine. All of you have been like family to us. I know she was happy to see Keith! I still hold him so close in my heart and even though life has continued on - I still think of him often and with such wonderful memories and love. We will forever cherish the time the Lord allowed him and Suza to be a part of our lives.We love you always and will keep you in our heart and prayers. Please call if we can do ANYTHING for you.....Eddie, Debbie and Bubba Hinson

Dear Lentz family,

During this most difficult time please remember that there are many who hold you in their prayers. I will miss Suza and her encouraging words and warm hugs. When I heard of Suza's passing, my mind went back to the day of Keith's funeral. I can remember all us kids standing around the casket singing "Walk On" and Suza holding Jimmy's hand up in the air and promising to continue the Faith and Walk on. That really inspired me that even during the horrible grief of loosing her own son she had the courage to Walk On. I know that is how she would want Jimmy to feel now. So, Jimmy I encourage you to Continue the Faith and Walk On in Jesus Name. In times like these I think of that song that Shirley has sung so many times. New Grace. I know you are going to need that New Grace that you've not needed before. You are in my prayers.

In Christian Love and Prayers,

Your Best Western Family

Suza,Such a Christian lady with a smile of your face, that I will so miss. You always knew when I didn't feel good. I could never fool you, always put others first and had encouraging words and my memories of you will never be forgotten sleep tight see you in the morning.

Suzy, little did I know the last time I saw you and Jimmie eating at Wendy's that it would be my last time speaking to you. How I wish I could have spoken to you one more time. You and Jimmie have always meant a lot to Stamey and I. I wish I had known you were leaving us...I would have asked you to give Tammy a hug for me and tell her how much I love and miss her. As much as everyone will miss you, I'm happy that you have won your victory. You're exactly where you want to be..with Jesus, Keith, your parents, friends and other loved ones that have gone before you. We love you and will miss you but one day we'll see you again.

Suzy Lentz will forever be my friend. She was a Christian lady if there ever was one. She would do anything for anyone. She was that kind of person. She will be forever missed! We loved her dearly ! But, she now is in Heaven with her Heavenly Father and her beloved son. She would not have it any other way. She would tell us to not grieve her for she would not change a single thing. She is glorifing her Lord and Master. And, loving her son Kieth. I want say goodbye, I will just "say see you later" my friend.

Suza--Welcome to Your New Home!

Suza, I couldn't believe it when Jimmie called and said you had passed away. You were one of my dearest, dearest friends and I am so sorry I was not there for you. You were always there for me--and my girls--their bridal showers, baby showers, I could always count on you. What will I do without you? I always felt I could pick up the phone and you would always be there for me. God needed you more. I can just see you now hugging Keith, your Mom, your sister, and last, but not least Jesus. You so lived the Christian life and was such an inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing you. I will certainly miss [email protected] and your instant messages. We shared good times and bad times. Remember the long talks we had in the parking lot after work? Remember walking in and out of Pillowtex. You were a special coworker as well as a special friend. My heart breaks as I write this and think what might have been. I always thought we would have plenty of times to talk, email, laugh, and cry after you got your house finished and things got back to normal. But that was not meant to be. I found the jasmine heart candle just yesterday that you had brought back from the mountains, not only for me, but for all our female coworkers. I took the top off and smelled the sweet scent of jasmine and thought of you. I didn't know at that time that you were hours away from your last breath. May God always hold my precious memories of you forever in my mind and heart. I will end this by saying I will always miss you and welcome to your new home!

Love and miss you,

Sandy
