We just wanted the family, friends and loved ones to know that we're praying for you. It is never easy to lose a loved one but God's humility, patience, compassion and unfailing love provide great comfort and hope for us all.

My fondest memory of Susie was when we got together for the holiday's (when we all were much, much younger) and we would bolt for the door when she entered the house knowing that she was going to plant a big kiss on our cheek! She always found a way to catch me and I was pretty fast!

It's always hard to know what to say when we're dealing with a loss but my best advice to anyone is prayer! Amazing things happen when we put Him first and the hope that He provides is very special.

I will continue to pray for all of you and we will certainly miss Aunt Susie!

Grace and peace,
Tim, Melody, Brandon, Ashleigh and Townsend Money$
