We are very saddened to hear this news. Every time I came into her presence she always had a smile and a kind word. It was obvious that she loved her family and that she was very supportive of Glenn and her children. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Glenn & Family, I was so sorry to learn of Susan,s passing. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. It is so hard to loose a loved one. As you mourn her loss and celebrate her life, know that others are praying for you during this difficult time. I remember all the children, as I frequently gave them rides to the Academy when I worked at the ASCS Office when they were small. She will be greatly missed.

My heart breaks for your family in this time of loss. I am so sorry. Thomas and I are thinking of you all and hope you share peace is this togetherness. While it has been years since I've seen your mother, it seems like yesterday I remember going in the kitchen like stepping back in time to a world that was simple, slower and so southernly hospitable. I remember her closet vividly and the blue leather couch that I would "claim" for sleepovers. I can hear her voice (the very Colosse accent, "Kelly Grier"), see her smile, and almost smell the undoubtably wonderful meal she was preparing for us. She was a treasure for sure and I know will be greatly missed.
