My memories of Susan go way back to the days when she played in bell choir at FUMC and the times our daughters spent time at one house or another. She has an honored place in my memories, as she was a disciple and showed it. Peace to Greg, Collette and Mac. You will see her again.
Greg, Susie’s Spirit will live on to be a Light to those who knew, love, and miss her. She was a joy, filled disciple who let her Light Shine. Blessings and comfort to you and all of the family.
