    I would like to offer my condolences to the family on their loss. Susie was a dear family friend and our family loved her and Charlie and Stacy and Craig so much! We had great days growing up! I so appreciated Susie coming to my dad’s memorial service in September although I’m sure physically it was difficult. Our prayers are with the family. May God grant you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart…”

    So very sorry to all of the family for the loss of Susan. I knew Susan since I was a child and she always had a smile on her face and was eager to help you with your insurance needs. I spent many years with Bob Sterling and then Susan as my family friends and insurance agents. May she rest in peace with her father, husband and brother 🙏 ❤️

    I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Susan. We were classmates at Frankfort and I was always so fond of her. Actually, we were pretty good friends but lost touch over the years. My condolences to her family.
