Susan will be missed greatly by
all who knew her. She was always a sweet kind hearted person who seemed
to look for the best in people. Even in her declining health she stayed
positive and true to her faith. Thank you, Susan, for making this world
a better place while you shared it with us. Our thoughts and prayers are
with you Eddie and Amanda and all your family.

June 17, 2010  Dear

But heaven was a better place yesterday when she arrived. Our prayers are with you in next few days and months. Susan will surely be missed. Blessings and love, Penney and Billy
June 17, 2010
Dear Amada and Family,
Words can not express how sorry I am for your loss. When I think of an example of a Godly woman whose life exemplified the Glory of the Cross my mind flies to your Mom. She walked in faith right up until the bitter end. I will keep you and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers for the days, weeks, and months to come. I love you and will be here for whatever you need.
June 17, 2010

I am praying that the Lord will fill the empty feeling in your hearts with fond memories of the past, loving expressions of kindness from friends and loved ones, and most of all, with God's abiding Word and His all-surpassing love. We love you, Mark & Ann Fessler

were so sorry to hear about your sister. Our thoughts and prayers are
with you. Charlie and Carol Covey
June 17, 2010 I
will always remember Susan as a wonderful cousin and, more importantly
as a precious, dear friend. She loved people and I enjoyed being with
her because she had a way of making you feel accepted and loved. She
could cut up with the best of them and her laughter was a contagious
healing balm. Love you "Cuzzin Tootie." Tim Whitt
June 17, 2010 Dear
Eddie, Amanda, Sheila and Carol,Susan was my friend for 53 years and I don't know of a single person who's life she touched that was not blessed for having known her. Susan didn't do anything halfway....wife, mother, sister and friend but most of all Christian, she was a true inspiration to us all. Her rewards in Heaven will be many. Susan has left so many happy, funny memories to help us through this time of grief. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God bless you and ease the pain in your hearts.
June 17, 2010
Eddie and Amanda,So sorry to hear of Susan's passing. I remember the days when I drove the ol' VW Beetle in Northside's parking lot. You (Eddie), Susan and I laughed so hard and to this day when I see a VW beetle, it brings back those memories. Susan had such a love for people and life; what an AMAZING lady. I feel so blessed to have known her. Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Love you guys so much!
June 17, 2010
Dear Eddie and Amanda
It has been my blessing to have known Susan and you all for many years. I cannot remember ever seeing her without her smile. May you know our Lord's abundant comfort and peace in this time of your great loss. We're pressing ahead for that grand reunion.
June 17, 2010 Dear
Eddie & Amanda, I am so sorry for your loss, Susie was a wonderful
person I enjoyed talking with her, she had a great sense of humor and a
kind, gentle heart. So will be missed by all of us that knew her and
loved her. Take comfort in knowing she has gone home and has had the
ultimate healing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
June 17, 2010
What more can I say that hasn't
been already? I'm at a loss for words. I have fond memories of Susan,
especially growing up. Even though I was a horrible terror of a child
she was always nice to me. And in the end she remained filled with light
even in fading health. Nothing is permanent though, including pain and
sorrow. She'll be missed.
June 17, 2010
Dear Eddie, Amanda, Sheila &
Carol,
Words cannot even begin to describe how sad I am that I can no longer call my precious cousin, "Susita" on the phone and visit with her. My prayer is that God will give you grace and more grace to deal with your grief. She will surely be missed. I loved her so much, and I love you all.
June 17, 2010
Sheila, Bruce and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this
time of sorrow. Sheila I know that you have so many happy memories of
your sister and I hope this will sustain you in this time of grief and
in the months and years ahead. We miss you and pray for a safe trip
home. Love you, Linda and Jim Isom
June 17, 2010
Graceful fingers and wispy hair,A prayer so soft you almost couldn't hear. But when she wanted, she had a voice loud and strong, That would sing the most beautiful songs. They gave her some time but she took eleven years, And shocked all her peers. But she wasn't shocked not one little bit, And her prayer always was, Till that minute, that time, that very last day, God's will be done, His way.
AUNT SUSAN, YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!!
June 17, 2010
Dear Eddie and Amanda, we are
so very sorry for your loss. Susan was a wonderful, Godly woman. Please
know that we will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Susan was our life-long friend. We look back with such fondness on all
the memories we share together and look forward to rejoicing with her in
heaven. May the Lord give you peace.
June 17, 2010
Dear Eddie & Amanda,
So sorry to hear of Susan's passing. She was truly a beautiful Christian woman. Her smile and sense of humor were so contagious. We always enjoyed being with her.

June 17, 2010
Dear Mr. Eddie and Ms. Amanda,
I am so very sorry to hear about Mrs. Susan's passing. She was the
sweetest lady. Whenever I saw her, she was smiling. I will miss hearing
the stories about the bird you guys had as a pet once and seeing her at
church. My prayers are with you and your family.
June 17, 2010
Dear Eddie and Amanda, we are
so sorry to hear about the passing of Susan. We are grateful for the
years she took care of Brent (our grandson) and also our son, Gene
Brent. She was a kind and loving woman. She fought a long battle with
grace and now she is in the arms of the Lord. You are in our prayers.
God Bless, Barbara & Butch Hogge

My deepest thoughts and prayers
go out to you Eddie, Amanda, Sheila and Carol. I love you my cousins and
hurt for your loss. She will be missed, but not forgotten. I will always
remember her smile and laugh, and how I use to get Sheila and Susan
mixed up when I was little. I know she is at peace and in no more pain.
She is with our savior. Love and prayers.
June 17, 2010
My condolences to Susan's
family.
June 18, 2010

Susan, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember the times when

at Grace Baptist Church.

bring you comfort.

with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life
well lived. I will always remember visiting Etta & Irving, Susan would
be there with a smile and full of laughter. She was a wonderful person
and will be missed by many people.

Dear Eddie and Amanda,
I give you my deepest condolences in your loss of Susan. We will all miss her lovely presence and smile. May God comfort you in this time of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
June 18, 2010 Dear
Eddie, Amanda and family, We are so sorry for your loss. Susan was the
absolute kindest and most Christian woman I have ever been blessed to
know. She knew the answers to life's little problems and was ever ready
to lend a hand. She graced us all with her clever wit. A beautiful wife,
mother, sister, neighbor and friend, she will sorely be missed. Just as
Susan has lovingly kept a candle burning in her window - all who knew
her smile, her laughter, kindness and optimism, will be blessed with the
bright light of her memory that will soothe the aching heart. God bless
and keep you in the comfort of His Arms.
June 18, 2010
Our love and prayers are with
you and Amanda.
June 18, 2010
Dear Eddie, Amanda, Sheila &
Carol,
I loved Susan as my own "Sissy". We had 45 wonderful years together as sisters of the heart and sisters in Christ. Even though I know we will all miss her, I also know that she is with Jesus, her parents, Little Sue, Mrs. Hamilton, and many more people that she has loved over the years. She is saving a place for us and we will all rejoice with her again soon. I pray that God will give you grace and mercy to get through the difficult days ahead. And always remember that I love you and will be here to help with whatever.
June 18, 2010
Dear Eddie & Amanda,
Please know that you are being surrounded by prayers during this season in your lives. I am so glad to have met Susan, and was touched by her great love and faith in the Lord. I will never forget her leading us in "Blest Be the Tie That Binds" during our prayer time together. The Lord will strengthen and bless you even now, as you walk this road together. In our hearts and prayers, Howard and Chris Woody

Carol,
Carol,
Thank you for your personal
note of condolence. I knew it would not be long but that
doesn't diminish the pain of losing Suzie. Her obituary said
she had been a resident of the peninsula for 47 years. I met
Suzie, Sheila and Carol, for the first time on the corner of
23rd and Chestnut Avenue in 1957. I know I'm getting older, but
for me that is 53 years. See....you're not the only one who has
an occasional booboo. You have chosen a hard job to do in
passing on such sad news of what seems an increasingly large
number of old friends. Thank you for all you do for us, we're
so lucky to have you.....

| Thank you so much, Joyce. |
Again, my deepest sympathies on the loss of your dead friend.
