We are very sorry. Have known Susan since our school days and have always thought of her as a friend. We will remember you in our prayers.
What a wonderful lady! I have so many great memories of Thanksgiving in Hughes Springs, and Miss Susan was a big part of that. Great food, and lots of fun! So sorry to hear that she has passed, but she is in a better place. Thoughts and prayers to all! The Carnes Family.
Revelation 21:4
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.
Condolences and prayers to the family.
