I was blessed to know Susie. I first met her through stories my wife (Cindy) would share about her sweet aunt and how she would look out for her growing up. I knew through Cindy’s stories that this was a special lady. Later I learned for myself first hand. The world lost a beautiful soul with her passing. So glad she was big part of Cindy’s life and a part of mine as well. Love you Susie.
