Sue, I must say I am sorry for not being there in your final years, however, you know I shall always love you. You could love anyone, even me. You showed me what it is to love and to be loved. I shall always remember the times we shared together as friends. I love and respect you. I miss you deeply and long to see you again. Bj
There will not a day go by that I do not think of you and miss your smile. You were the best mother in law a girl could have. You took me in and treated me as your daughter. I will miss all of our Wal-Mart shopping trips. I know you will be saving us all a place when we get there.
Rest in Peace and know we all will miss and love you very much.
Ricky, we are so sorry for your loss. Your mother was always so kind to me, Tim and Sophie. I got to talk to her many times in Wal-Mart while she was there shopping. I know you will miss her terribly but she is no longer suffering and is in a good place now. You will always have your wonderful memories of your mother.
May you rest in peace Sue. Tina, I don't know if you and your brothers remember me. I lived in Little Rock in the late 80's. I am good friends with Sharyn and Steve. I met Sue when she owned the floral shop. She was very talented and wonderful fun lady. She was one of my first friends when I moved there. I will cherish the memories forever. May god be with all you and know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Dennis Fischbach
Tina, I just want you all to know my heart goes out to your whole family & may the comfort of God help you all during this difficult time. Your mother & I have been friends for over 52 years. I still remember the 1st time I met Sue. Her infectious laughter and cheerful nature always brought joy to everyone's lives. And while it's going to be very difficult to think of this world without her, it is a happy thought knowing she is only spreading happiness all over heaven. I'm going to miss her dearly.
Tina, my continue thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. I pray that God gives strength and peace to you all. Love you dearly my friend if you need me you have my number just call me.
Tina and family, we are in prayer for you at this time. Words alone cannot take away the ache you feel in your hearts for your loss. But you know you will meet again one day, in the presence of God.
