Deloris Sue was my grandmother. She is the mother to Shannon (my dad), Leslie (uncle), Chad (uncle), Janet (aunt) and Stacy (aunt). She is also a grandmother to many children including myself. Grandma Sue was a very happy person. She taught my dad and his brothers many things that they were able to pass down to their kids. She LOVED big dinners. I always remember going on trips to golden corral with her, and even making big dinners at her place for thanksgiving/christmas etc. I remember when i was younger she would always want me to sit on her lap and watch tv whenever i would come over. I remember all of the calls we got of just her checking in on my dad and us. I remember when i would come over and she would give me makeup and nail polish (she had piles of beauty products). She really did care a lot for us. My heart goes out to my uncles, aunts, cousins, and my father. She was an amazing woman and really did care for everyone. It may be very upsetting and difficult to process that she is gone… but just remember she is in a better place and is so much happier. I love you Grandma Sue and i always will. -Allison
