We were very sorry to hear of Susan's passing... she was such a dear, sweet person who left this world way too soon... and will be missed by so many friends and family members.
On the other hand, it was very good to see the San Antonio part of the family again. We really need to get together more often and for happier occasions... But then, isn't that what we always say? We will try to do better this time!!!
Love to all you cousins!!!

My deepest condolences to her family and Earl. I was a long time neighbor of Susan. She was like a daughter to me. She and Earl would watch out for me and would bring me food during the holidays. Always went above and beyond to help out the neighbors. I will miss her terribly. She was an amazing person. May she rest in peace. Love always Bea
