Susie was such a bright spot during our days at St. Mary's. She could really hit that baseball during recess. Said she got into trouble with Sr. Audrey who said she hit it onto the boy's field on purpose. Also said she had to wash the nun's car a lot. I learned this when I called to have her get together with former classmates last Spring. Wish she would've come. She would have enjoyed it as we would have liked seeing her. Now in our prayers Hope she sees Charlie in heaven.. think that was her horses name.

To Susie's son, brother Bruce & his family & Linda,
Susie was in grade school and high school with me. She had the shiniest black hair and red checks. Her laugh was contagious and I can't remember her not smiling. I'm so glad that she kept contact with you, Linda. As our parents die and our lives move on, we need people who share our entire journey.
Prayer go to all of you who were able to be part of her ADULT life.
Sincerely,
Margie Irwin Mostyn

"Susie" and her family are in my thoughts and prayers this Holy Week. We had been friends since St. Mary's grade school.

So sorry to hear of Susie's passing. We met in 5th. grade. I remember her family, her passion for horses, the big roan, the owl she stuffed and her artistic gifts. Prayers for you and yours.

Suzie...this has saddened me, for I know you still had dreams and expectations. Places you could travel to, adventures you haven't experienced. I hope you ride off on a beautiful horse as you often spoke of. I will miss our conversations. Some how making ourselves feel better about things. You were something else. I always said you could talk about anything, with any one, man or woman. I hope you find peace in your journey, passing along people and animals alike, that meant a lot to you. I still laugh about your beloved duck.
Jimmy, I am so sorry for your loss. May you find peace in your memories. God bless. And God speed Susan. R.I.P.
Debbie.
