More than anything in this world, Aunt Susan deeply loved and was completely devoted to her husband Mitchell, her children Andy and Eric, her grandchildren, her family and most of all God. She was a wonderful Christian lady with a beautiful heart, smile and sense of humor. We are truly saddened and she will be greatly missed.
For certain moments and times like this it seems there are no words… but our hearts and tears are with all who loved Susan.
If I have learned anything through past tragedy or heartbreak to share with her loved ones it would be that… at times the future will seem overwhelming but try to remember it comes one moment at a time. You may never get over this, you cannot get around it, and so you just try to get through it. This may not always become easier or better, it just becomes different. But you will never be alone for God is ALWAYS with you and so are the family and friends He blessed you with.
Our love and concern are with you always and you will be forever in our thoughts, our hearts and our prayers.

With all our love and sympathy,

We will all have her in our hearts forever until we all meet again and rejoice in our family reunion in heaven. We Love you Uncle Mitch, and Cousins Andy and Eric and we pray that you feel the touch of Gods hand in your time of sorrow. All our love to you.
