Susan was precious friend with whom we shared many happy times.But,without a doubt,there has never been a truer one.
She was the first one at my door when my Mother and Father passed away...when my daughter as a toddler broke a toe at daycare and Susan arrived at the hospital before me because she was closer and didn't want Rose to be alone or scared.That was Susan..sweet,unselfish,loving...and extremely funny!
We will miss you and always cherish our special memories!
Love and our prayers with the family.

Our days have changed for now, because a familiar voice did not call today. Although we didn't speak today, Susan has been present in my thoughts and memory. Her call will be one I truly miss. Not only was she a great help, but she was a true friend. Susan didn't mind letting you see into her life and rarely spoke to me that she didn't let me know what was happening with the girls. I have never seen any of you three with my eyes, but I have met you thousands of times in your mothers stories. She never minded telling people how special you all are, and we loved to hear her tell it. I will miss her both professionally and personally. Because I knew her, I know how difficult this is for you to walk through. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with you and I have confidence in God's ability to bring you peace and strength. He blessed us all by allowing Susan in our lives.

Dear Anna, Amanda, and Lee,
I remember Susan as such a strong lady. She was a single mom that constantly had so much to do but kept it all together. She was such a great Mom, she loved her girls so very much and always put her girls first. She loved having big slumber parties for the girls. She loved having fun! She was a smart woman of great character and strength. She amazed me at all she could do being a single mother. She was so very proud of her three daughters and their family. Truly an amazing woman as well as talented. Remember her love and her strength and ask God to guide you through these difficult times. Love to you all.

This was such sad news for us on Saturday and today about our sweet friend, Susan. She has been a very good friend of mine for years and was loved by me and so many others. If I was out, I was always looking for that sweet smile across the room and could not wait to go over to her and get my hug. She was a person you could talk with for hours and that was too short. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all her friends and her family that she dearly loved. Sandy James 8/15/16
