Dear Bill and Susan, Just a note to let you know that I feel your pain in the loss of your daughter. It is one of the hardest things in life to loose a child. Even though I did not know her personally, I felt that she was special through her Facebook postings with her friends. Such a great loss for the people on earth and such a blessing to Heaven.

I am sorry for your loss. Susan and I met when I was employed at the Eden mall. She helped me through some difficult times when I was to have a liver transplant. I will always remember her kindness she had for me and so many others. She will be truly missed. May God comfort you all.

Susan's faith was very inspirational to me! I graduated in '78 and remembered her from high school, then reconnected to her after I saw her facebook update that she was coming off dialysis. I got to see her once at Hospice and we talked on the phone. So sorry for your loss but I know she's enjoying her new body now!

May Susan sleep peacefully awaiting our lord Jesus' call when she will awaken ( John 5:28,29) to a peaceful new earth( Psalms 37:10,11,29)where we will all be joyful to see each other once again and forever. Please find real comfort and truth in the scriptures. Take care
