Don, Frank, and Family:

Ma will be greatly missed by all of us, but she will always be remembered and admired for the kind, sweet, loving, caring women she was. She and Pop had the kind of life that anyone would admire and respect. It was such a pleasure to have known both of them. They gave me very fond memories of family gatherings, fishing, and trips to the Bahamas.

I'm glad I got to see her and give her a big hug on Father's Day at church in Fort Pierce. She seemed to be her usual happy and peaceful self. God bless you all and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives.

To Frank, Don and families, Your loss is great. Aunt Sue was always so sweet and kind. She talked about all of you each time we corresponded or talked on the phone. She was so proud of each of you. Family was everything to her. You have my condolences.

To Aunt Sue, Your reunion with my Dad, Twiggs, and all your brothers and sisters is now complete. I have always marveled at the amazing journey all of you experienced in your lifetime. You were all such strong people with good moral values. It never mattered how hard life was. You all seemed to savor every moment of it. You set the bar very high for your decendants. I will miss you always.

I remember Aunt Sue as always being quiet, gentle and sweet. I loved staying with her when I was a child, and my children and grandchildren loved visiting her when she was in Cashiers. We all loved her dearly, and she will be greatly missed. Our sincere sympathy to her entire family.

My father, Joshua Lang (III), who was born in Waltourville in 1919, and lived there when he was a child, remembers his Aunt "Sally" as a loving and amazing woman, with wonderful children, Sue being one of them. Our condolences to you all and we hope to make a trip out to Ludowici this Fall when we may be able to meet with some of you, our cousins. Wyman May will be our mutual contact as to when.

Family is important to each of us and

Sue's family was her life. I am proud to have been a part of that family. Knowing that I was named after her was the catalyst that made me want to be like her. Although I didn't get to see her that often, her letters and encouragement kept me going through the darkest of times and the happiest of times. Just know that she was loved and will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.
