Heather, Randy and the Floyd family: I am so honored to have called Susan my sister and also have her marry into my family. Never have I known such a loving, supportive, compassionate person, who handled life with the utmost of Grace. She always smiled and offered a kind word, no matter what the circumstance. May her light continue to burn bright in the lives of those she touched. May we find the peace that she exhibited in her life. Much love to you all. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Heather,
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your dear mother. I only met her a couple times, however; I do remember a beautiful card and photos of Nathan skating that she mailed me after his death. That gesture meant so very much to me. You are in my thoughts and prayers Heather. I understand how you feel with your great loss. If you ever need to talk, please do not hesitate to call me, 904-501-2628.

I really don't know what to say and for those of you that know me this is a first. It seems like yesterday we were attending your fathers funeral however so much time has passed and you finally found the love of your life and such a good fine man. All I can say is I am shocked and heaven will be better place with you there and you will be sorely missed here. Never saw Susan without a smile on her face. God speed my friend.
