Dear Michelle, Amy & Cathy, I am so sorry to learn of your mom's passing recently,------we had been friends since Lee Elementary School Days in the 40's ,so I was blessed to call her my "friend" for many years. I am also blessed to have called Jim (husband) my friend , as well as all three of her daughters and grandchildren. Suella was a wonderful Christian , so I know she is with the Lord and for that I can say "Hallelujah" ! We shall all miss her in our lives on this Earth, but we will see her and your dad again when we join them in Heaven. God bless all of you as you adjust to your lives without her physical presence----- however , you will always carry your mom close in your hearts---that will never leave you! Share her loving nature and joy, which she has passed on to you. Love, Carol
