I was so sorry to hear the news about Susie. She was my best friend in junior high and part off high school. We were in orchestra together and Belles, where she was the center anchor for the line. I remember spending time with her family during their beach vacations in the summer. We had lost touch but I am so sorry to hear this news. My prayers for the family for peace during this difficult time. She was a smart, talented person with a good heart.

Sending warm hugs and prayers of Peace for Susie's family and friends. Susie was one of the finest, most kind and giving person whom I will always be proud to have called my friend. Her legacy will live on in her many contributions to our community...her most cherished being the Soap Box Derby that she was instrumental in bringing to Beaumont. Poet Thomas Campbell wrote "To live on in hearts we leave behind is not to die." Susie filled many hearts. Good bye Susie. Always, Cindy
