We are sorry to hear about Susan passing. We were not aware and if we had known, would have attended the memorial service. Connie, we appreciate your note in regards to my mother's passing as well and understand why you were unable to attend. It is with deepest sympathy to your families for the loss of Susan. She was always joking around and teasing family and friends.

Its been many years since I have seen any of you guys. Im very saddened to hear about the loss of Susie. From what i can remember of Susie was she was such a happy person and as others stated she always wore a smile on her face. Susie is a distant cousin of mine. I lost touch with her, however I will always remember her for the kind of person that she was. Ive spent lots of laughing moments with Susie when she was about 17 years old and still going to Hoover and she was always such a pleasure to be around. Susie always had a good personality and was happy go lucky. My condolences go out to the entire family including the ones that i did not get the chance to meet. Susie or Marion may remember me by Heidi or Bo's daughter, Vonnie Zenor (Nug)s grandaughter, which Susie always called her Nugget. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to all, and Susie Ill never forget you, rest in peace and I will see you someday.
