To Todd, Brooks, Jackie and Peggy: I was so shocked to learn of your Mom and sister's passing. I will continue to pray for each one of you that God will continue to keep you in His tender loving care. He will never leave you. What a beautiful Servant of God Susie was and what a legacy of love we will never forget. I remember even driving with Susie all the way to Atlanta to take one of our dear friends to dinner for her birthday, as her loved one was in the hospital. We shared much laughter and Susie will always remain in my heart to be one of my sweetest and dearest Sisters in Christ. She loved every one of you including her dear grandchildren very much. I will truly miss her beautiful smile and tender heart.

I have known Susie for more than 30 years. We met a Tybee, when after being at the beach all day we would all go over to the softball field so the guys could play ball. I also worked with Susie at St. Joseph's/Candler. Over all of the years I have known her, she has never changed. Susie was one of the finest, kindest, sweetest people that I have ever known. She loved people and had a way of making each person feel special. She was a true friend; a friend that had her own problems like everyone else, but was there for you at the drop of a hat; a friend that did not judge you; a friend that prayed for you and your family for the sorrows and the joys in your life. She loved her family dearly, but most of all, her boys and grandchildren, with all her heart. Susie loved the Lord and I know she is happy to have been called home to be with Him. She will be missed by all that knew and loved her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Diane Boyer Sullivan

Sweet Susie. Your smile and very presence made everyone feel a little happier just being around you. I remember all the fun times we had at the Acts Singles group, going to the beach and working together cleaning all those new construction homes. Thank you for always being there for me and for being a shoulder to cry on when I needed it. I still can't believe you are gone. Rest my sweet friend and we will meet again. Much love, Teresa Tuten

Susie will be terribly missed. I've known her for almost as long as I can remember. Growing up at Tybee with her and her family, and then working with her the last several years. Every time we saw each other we would always swap 'remember when' stories and catch up on each others lives in the present. I'll miss those times and Susie's laughter and humor. Her family and loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.

Brooks and Todd, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I remember when your mom and I found out we were pregnant and were both due the same week. Patrick was born Dec. 2nd and Brooks on Dec. 5th! On Susie's way home from the hospital with Brooks,she insisted on stopping by our house so the babies could meet! Brooks and Patrick have been friends ever since! Although we would get busy with our lives and sometimes months would pass before we spoke, we could always pick right back up where we left off. Susie and I had been friends for a long time and she will be missed dearly! Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers! May God bless you and keep you in the days to come!
