Jack and Sheila,
We are so sad that Susie is gone, but happy to know that she is with her Jesus. We were just reminiscing about her and her wonderful influence on "Jeffy" as he was growing up. Do you remember "Mulligan's Mush"? It never would have been invented had your mom not been so cool as to let you mash a whole sleeve of saltines in your chicken noodle soup! She was always in the background gently guiding your boys as you played, loving you and letting you explore. She was a wonderful woman, and we will miss her. Our love to you all.
