I want to extend my sympathy to Susan's family. My memories of Susan go back to her early employment at Goodwill Industries while I was on the staff there. Susan was a wonderful example of the difference someone can make in this world and her positive attitude and representation of Goodwill was a blessing! May the prayers of all those who knew her sustain you at this most difficult time.

Mrs. Sutton and Billy, I am thinking of you and your family at this sad time. I know that Susan was a bright part of your lives for a long time, and had suffered these last years. Now, she is at peace and not hurting any more, and in a much better place. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I will try to get mother up to see you before too long. With my deepest sympathy, June-Gail

I was very sorry to hear about Susan's passing away. I used to live behind the Suttons and for my tenth grade year in high school would ride in Miss Cilie's little Volkswagen to school. I would see Susan periodically over the years, mostly when I would drop things off at Goodwill and she was always so cheerful and had a kind word for everyone. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Celie and Billie- I'm sorry for your loss, and I pray for peace for the grieving time ahead. Death is always difficult for those of us left behind. Based on faith though, I got a feeling she misses us but she is having the time of her life with the celebration going on in heaven. In Christ, John C

Celie, Bill, and everyone: I was so sorry to hear today about Susan. She was such a delight and I'm so happy that Kim and I got a chance to see her a couple of months ago when I was in town. I know you will miss her terribly, and I'm sorry that I can't be there for the service. But know that I am thinking of you as you get through this difficult time. Glenn

I was very sorry to hear about Susan. I remember talking and playing with Susan when I would visit my grandparents who lived next door. She was enjoyable to be around with a ready laugh.
