Our most sincere sympathy to you all. Susie was truly an earth angel. We met this wonderful lady in Mesa and have many good memories of our time there. We had many fun times with her & Ardelle. She will be missed.
Susie was a school mate of mine and I always enjoyed her friendship. Her oldest brother married my Aunt and we were all graduates of St. Mary’s Mt. Morris Mi. She and I were pen pals at one time also. Although I’ve lived in Minnesota many years we thought of each other often.
Remember Mrs. Burnash and a herkids while working at Ashcraft’s in Gladwin. I am sorry to hear of her passing. I will be praying for the family during and after this sorrowful time. Rest in Peace.
I remember hanging out at her house when we were in high school with Cheri. Susanne was a wonderful person. She was such a blessing at the Sacred Heart Mission. She loved helping others.
Hugs and prayers to her family. Aggie Edgar-Mackie
