    Very sorry to hear of Susan's passing. My prayers are with her family. I'm sure it was just an oversight, but Susan was also survived by a niece and great nephew who lived with her for a time and helped take care of her for years, both physically and financially. Wonderful friends, such as Angela, who helped so much during Susan's final hours. Neighbors and clients who lovingly stepped up to help Susan out any way they could. She was blessed with many good people in here life. God bless you for all you've done, Kristy and Wesley Miller, Angela, and all the others who gave of there time and resources to help make things a little better for Susan.

    My deepest sympathy is with Susan’s family at this difficult time. I met Susan years ago at Naamans Little League when our sons played baseball together. Years later, our paths again crossed when our younger son dated Sue’s nextdoor neighbor’s daughter. I became a client of her’s along with the many friends and relatives of the Williams family. She was a loving, kind, outgoing person who always made you feel beautiful when it was actually her beauty shining out to the world. She also took great care of my mother-in-law for many years. She was always respectful, jovial and thoughtful. May she Rest In Peace in her heavenly home. 🙏❤️

    Sending my condolences to Susan’s family. Susan was very special to me. We had a lot of fun years together at John Francis. She always made me laugh at some of her “famous expressions.” I will love and miss her forever. Kathy Pappas
