Susie was such a sweet lady with a cute giggle. She and I loved to tease each other. I was so honored that her family allowed me to be a part of her life. Bradley her son was always an advocate for his Mom. I respected him so much for that. We will miss our sweet Susie. Heaven gained a beautiful angel. Rest in peace my sweet friend. 

Susie brightened the lives of her family.   She was always nice to me and I will miss her.   A good soul who had a difficult journey these last couple of years.  May she find peace and rest.  

Always had a great time at family get togethers, she always kept us laughing!

When Charles and I first got married we went to see Susie in Houston, and Charles sat out on the front porch with his guitar and sang "Wake up little Susie, Wake up!".

First off, let me start by saying our sorry I am that Aunt Susie is no longer with us, but I know she is in Heaven with Aunt Georgia celebrating!

When I think of Aunt Susie, I think of her laughter, she always had something funny to say, or she would pull you aside and whisper, maybe something not so flattering, and then expect you to be quiet, in your ear. She always had an energy about her that was positive, at least when we got to visit her.   I love Aunt Susie and will miss her very much.

I pray that the Lord comforts you all during this difficult season in your life, I love you all.

Dear Aunt Susie - 
The first thing I think of when I hear your name, or think of you, is your laugh, and how it always has made me smile, and how it brings back so many memories of you and our family. We will all miss you very much, but it is a comfort to know that you are reunited with my Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, and the rest of your brothers, sisters, and family, who we keep in our hearts...keep 'em laughing Aunt Susie!
Love you always, 
Blake

Brad, Katrina, Kim, Cindy, and families, 

You have my deepest sympathies. West Obion has lost another treasure. The upside is that Juanita, Gus, & Marie welcomed Susie warmly.  I had forgotten that Susie was a fellow "Bell head".  Cherish all the great memories.

Susie

I agree, in your case the Mother in Law Stigma was not true at all. You were the best Mother in Law anybody could whish for.

Through a series of coincidences or perhaps fate I came into your family all the way from Switzerland. I met your beautiful daughter Kim, who is now my wife of 33 years and you welcomed me into your family with open arms and without conditions, 
We exchanged cultural differences and we learned from each other. You always treated me with nothing but respect. I enjoyed our long personal talks over coffee and you supported me even during difficult times too.

I will for ever remember your kindness and I will dearly miss you.
But you are in a better place now. I am sure there is a brand new star shining somewhere in the Universe with your name on it!!

I love you for ever Susie

Andy

I am not sure where to start, so I will start by saying simply, that my grandmother meant very much to me and I miss her dearly. I will forever cherish the memories of our one on one talks and the many times we shared lunch together. These simple memories that were built over the years are now some of my most valuable treasures, and I will keep them with me. I am forever grateful for everything that we shared and talked about, and for all that you did for the family.  I love and miss you dearly, rest in peace.   

Grandma,

Just like everyone else, I can hear you now saying “Babyyy boyyy” every time you saw me. This exact memory is the most heart warming thing I could ask for in this moment as we are all missing you. There are no words to describe how thankful I am to have one of the most loving, caring and gentle human beings as my Grandmother. 

I want you to know that All the memories, holidays and conversations with you will be something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I will always have you in my thoughts and not a day will go by where you are not on my mind.  Thank you for being you and for the impact you have forever left on my life. 



P.S. - The Cat is still in the front yard!!!! 


I love you & miss you Grandma, 
Christian 

First, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Mom during this difficult time in our lives.  I remember your Mom always had a smile on her face.  I would see her at family gatherings for holidays at MaMa and Grand dads and she would talk to me and make me feel special.  She had a great laugh too - I can still hear it sometimes.  There is no love like a mother's love and she loved you all soooo much.  I know you will miss her - I'll be praying for your peace and comfort in the days ahead.  Love you all, Dee Ann

Grandma,

I can still hear your voice in my head saying "Babyyyy!"I can't believe you are no longer with us. Some of the best memories I have as a child were going to visit you and Grandpa at your house over the weekend. I never told you those memories are some of the most cherished of my childhood, but they are and you deserve to know.

I know the past few years have been tough for you, both physically and mentally, but I want you to know I'll always remember you as the kind, funny, and loving grandmother you were throughout my childhood. I'm sorry that your chapter in this life has ended, but I sleep better at night knowing you're in a better place.

We love you,
Nick, Katie, Garrett and Samantha

Grandma,

Thank you for always being there when we needed you. Thank you for being a comforting hug or a good laugh on the hard days and even the good. I can still clearly hear the way you'd say "baby!" or "Imma get you!" whenever we'd talk at the dining room table over your favorite Whataburger hamburger. 

You will be greatly missed but still ever present in our day to day. There won't be a day that goes by that something won't remind me of you and growing up with you as my grandma. I will even try to carry on making your famous chocolate cake but, let's face it, it never comes out quite the same as when you'd do it. I'll even keep attempting to learn how to sew cause I know you always wanted to teach me. I will keep on trying cause of the difference you made.

I miss you. I love you. I'll see you later.

Kaylen 

Susie,
We often hear people complain about their mother-in-law, I guess I was lucky and blessed because I had you for mine.  Thank you for welcoming me with open heart and arms into your family all those 37 years ago.  You have truly been a wonderful mother-in-law and I will miss you dearly.

When I think of you, I will always remember your sweet smile and that little twinkle in your eye, and oh that laugh.  When you laughed I could not help but laugh myself.  You used to always thank me for the things I did for you saying you worried how some day you could repay me.  You did repay me every day, just by being you.  It was my pleasure and honor to have helped you.

I know you are having a wonderful time catching up with all your family, be sure to go by and say “Hi” and have a cup of coffee with my Mom and Dad too.  I will continue to look out for and take care of Bradley, even if like you said he can be a handful at times.

I will miss our talks we had back in your Mom Cave at your house, talking about anything and everything, you trying to teach me how to root a flower, I still have not gotten that one down yet, but I will keep trying.  The walks in the family cemetery in Nacogdoches telling me who was related to who and little stories about them.  You were such a book of knowledge; I just wish I would have written those stories down now.

But, I think what I will miss most is the last thing you would say to me every night when you lived with us,  when I would check on you before going to bed.  You would always say, “Night Love”.  If I sit still enough, I can still hear your voice saying it.

Well it is time for me to say it to you, “Night Love” until we all see each other in Heaven.   

Love you always and forever,
Katrina


May GOD provide strength, comfort and peace for Bradley, Kim, Cindy and their families as well as for all of Susie's extended family.  Our prayers are with you.  At the center of Susie's heart and life was her family.  Her great joy was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchild.  Hers was the family table with a seat for all at holidays and special occasions.  May the warm memories of her love and caring be the ones that linger in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved her. 

Mom’s favorite word for her family: Babyyyy!! She always answered the phone that way. And when hanging up the phone: Love You!!
