I worked with Susan at Clay County Rehab from 1994 until I retired in 2004. She always had a smile and was a great asset to the facility. She was fun to be around and she was excellent with the clients. Iām so sad to hear of her passing. My condolences to her family. RIP Susan ā¤ļø Gone Too Soon
Sending thoughts and prayers to the family. Susan will be greatly missed.
You have always been my best friend. My beautiful sister of mine. You took care of me when I was down. I will always hold you in my heart forever. Now that you are with your mom, no pain, just pure love. I love you and miss you so much. Dear sister of mine.
You're mom was my best friend...my heart is broken for you...I think back to all the things we did and "trouble" we got into...thick as thieves...I can still see your Grandpa Bud shake his head and roll his eyes ... either on horseback, motorcycle, or the "lemon" (car) we would sneak off in, it would die on us and Susan would get out kick it and cuss...behold! It would magically start and we would hurry home before we got caught! We had the best time! I told her I will see her on the other side... she'll be hard to miss... she'll be the angel with the mischievous smile and one horn holding her halo straight!
To Susan's family and loved ones, I offer prayers and condolences to each of you. May God bless you with peace and precious memories.
So sorry to hear this š¢ Sending prayers of comfort to the family
Going to miss her, she was strong like Grandma and didn't let anything slow her down. Love you Aunt Susan.
Glad I got to work with her at cila she taught me a bunch here and was great friend to many of us here at cila
My condolences to the family š
Prayers and love going to this sweet family! She sure will be missed ā¤ļøāš©¹
