    Really hate to here about Susan. Never really got to set and visit with her too much over the past year with the Rodeos. The time she was in Chillicothe and a group of all of us went for Pizza and Susan stopped by on the way to a meeting we all went to, she seemed really like a nice person. I do wish I could have talked with her more. Our hearts and prayers go out her family. We have visited more though out the year with Chelsey and Bridget, they are great girls. We are thinking about them! Take care!

    We are so sorry, she was too young for this to have happened to her. She was blessed with a big happy family by her side.
