Bodhi For years Susie was like a daughter to me. E went everywhere together. So many birthdays and good times Susie was the sweetest person I know When she was little we always thought she would be a dancer because she danced and walked on her toes. When my daddy would take the kids to Giant Food he would give them all some money to buy something. That’s where Susie informed daddy that she didn’t want change. She wanted a”green dollar”. Someone will tell you about the streaker in the grocery store. She loved life. I’m so proud she got to live out some of her dreams. I love her and I am going to miss her. Thank you for loving her and giving her life purpose. Aunt Madelyn
It’s so hard trying to describe Susie in just a few words. She touched so many peoples lives, including mine. We weren’t only cousins but close friends. From “fancy” dinners, to cookouts, to game/poker night, we always had such a great time and tons of laughs. My husband and I always looked forward to hanging out with her and Bodhi and didn’t even mind sleeping in the creepy doll room in the spare bedroom lol. One of my favorite memories is the story with the outdoor patio cushion (only a select few know what I’m talking about). Oh Susie, you are so missed and loved. You were a bright light on this Earth and I know your shining even brighter now in the Heavens. I love you cuz……..
Oh Susan, where do I even begin? From the moment I first met you & Bodhi when y’all had just started dating. When I checked you Id & realized not only were you my neighbor but my birthday twin we became instant friends! I’m so glad I met you & were able to share some of our lives together. I loved yelling “fireball” back to you & Bodhi while y’all played your game. I loved even more that during your wedding vows y’all asked me to yell “Fireball” after a certain part of your vows. You are so greatly missed! Fly high my sweet friend! You will never be forgotten & I will always celebrate our birthday in your honor! 🪽💐
