Susie! You were the best big sister!! Always there to lend an ear or a hand and the good times together throughout life are etched upon my heart. I will miss our LONG talks (about everything) and the belly laughs until it hurt or we were crying. Whenever I see my “Michigan Girls” (meow, meow) I’ll think of you and the awesome thing you did feeding, rescuing and finding homes for many MANY fur babies! The memories you leave behind are plentiful, precious and cherished. R.I.P! I will miss you!! 💕

Sister, you were a bright, beautiful soul, and much loved by your family and friends. Always optimistic, always looking for the best in people. You endured so much in the past few years, but now you are free of pain and bodily limitations and one with God, Christ our Savior, and all the mysteries of the universe. You will always be in our hearts.
