It's hard to believe it has been those many years since my Aunt Sookie has been gone. I often think about the times we have all have shared with family members. And, now since Aunt Dookie has passed she is now in HEAVEN with all of her siblings except Two. My youngest believed Aunt, and 1 Uncle. But, they are all enjoying in the name of our Heavenly father. And, what a time they are having together.
From one of your Nieces.

I have set at home most eveing since Sookie pass on April 9, 2007 to the land of Milk and Honey were there is No Pain, No Hurt nor Sorrow only everlasting Joy, thinking of the conversations Sookie and I would have in the eveing as I was driving home talking to her on the cell phone. She would say "Helen have you gotten to the bridge" I would say "No, Ma Sue not yet" and we would talk until I got home. Sookie was a phone person, I really miss talking to her on the phone. I can go on and on thinking of the many, many things I will miss about Sookie, there would be know end, because I would think of one thing and something else will come to mind. Uncle Robert, Robert Jr. Joe, Debbie and Paulette one of the most precious stone on earth is the Blue Diamond. Sookie stood out like she was one of those precious stone. Always remember Sookie was a Phenomenal Lady, she will always be missed and never forgotten. May each you continue to receive God's daily blessings.

BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN: FOR THEY SHALL BE COMFORTED (Matt 5:4) To my dear and beloved Uncle Robert, (my cousins) Robert Henry, Joe, Debbie & Paulette (also to the grandchildren, the great-grandchildren, husbands and wives), Jesus is too wise to make a mistake. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal! You may not understand now, but you'll understand it better by and by. I want you to know that I love you all very much and I will continue to pray your strength in the Lord. Your mom was a wonderful lady and surely she will be missed; but keep your heads up high and be encouraged in knowing that God sits high and He looks low, He feels your pain and he knows what's best for us all. Cherish the memories that you have had with your loved one. We're all born to die, but because Jesus died that we might have a right to the tree of life, we that are HOLY shall pass over DEATH into ETERNAL LIFE. Live your life in order that you may live again and remember, HOLINESS WITHOUT NO MAN SHALL SEE THE LORD.

Daddy P and Family,
I received the news of Mama Sue's passing with such sadness. As our God is a miracle working God, I know it won't hurt always. It is but a temporary state. Your sorrow and grief will be replaced by quiet reflection and contentment knowing that Mama Sue led a full life and brought pleasure to her family, the church, and her community.
I recall her kindness to me and her quirky wit. I first met your family 22+ years ago. Even now, when I think of Mama Sue, I see her sitting in her chair "holding court".
Blessed be your memories. I pray that the memories are a constant source comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
My family uplifts you and yours in prayer. God Bless.
(Linda, Oumar, Poiret, and Omar,Jr)

Words could not glorify your life enough here on earth. You took me in along with everyone else. Your heart was made of warmth and your smile brought 100% joy. You are a rare breed not to many us can say that we were blessed to be among a real angel. You welcomed me in your house with open arms and I'm quite sure you will do the same in your new home. May God bless you like he has throughout your life. You will never be forgotten your memories will be carried on through our actions in life. Love you MAMA SUE.

Words cannot express our feelings at this time. Our hearts are over flowed like an emptiness.
Aunt Sue was a remarkable woman. We shared so much together, we cried, we laugh, and we talked a lot about any and everything, and through it all we loved and had confidence in each other.She truly will be missed by our family...
You know I'm always there when you need me....

Pearson Family, Mama Sue will be dearly missed. She has helped Ashley in so many ways and they have become very close. I can remember during the summer months when Ashley was out of school Mama Sue and Ashley would be out shopping and sometimes I would have to wait until they got back. When Mama Sue needed something done she would wait for Ashley and have her do it for her. Those are the things that we will remember about Mama Sue she had a big heart.

To: Rev. Robert Pearson and Family,
May God be with you all at this time. My daughter and I only had three occasions to visit your home, but on all three of those occasions, Susie (Sookie) made us feel so much at home. It was a great joy to have known her.
Your son Robert Jr., definitely a product of you and Susie is so wonderful to my husband, Dennis in the world of bass fishing and hunting.
Love, Maxine, Dennis and LaToya McNeal
