Susie and I were childhood friends growing up on Haleville Road in Memphis. She was a dear sweet friend. My prayers are with her family and especially her brother, David. I never met her husband but my prayers are with him, also.

Susie sure will be missed by us. She had a heart of gold and was always trying to give us something. She crocheted Larry a wrap for his neck to keep him warm and her and Mike gave him a heater to keep him warm. She will be remembered by us and in our hearts forever. I could go on but this will do for now. May she rest in peace and hurt no more. Love you a bushel and speck and a hug around the neck, as she would say!

Dear family and friends. Want to let you know how much we cared for Susie. She was kind and helpful to all. She sent me a nice card on October 20th stating how much she learned about The bible in her discussion. She learned about the resurrection hope found at John 5:28+29 and Acts 24:15. See you in paradise. We loved you💐🌹🌸
Michael D. Lee says
It’s still hard to believe she’s gone at a very young age. I miss her more and more each day. I have loved her since the first time I saw her on April 6th 1984 and always loved her. She would brighten your day with her smile and kind words. She was a Christian and believed in the resurrection hope and I know that I’ll see her again some day….Love always.
