  1. Butch and Eric: Sorry to hear of your mother’s passing . She and Otho were very dear friends of Pat and mine. She was a wonderful Christian and will be missed by all her many friends at West Asheville Baptist church. My condolence and sympathy to both of you.

  2. Wow, what a great heritage. What a wonderful Christian Woman and Mother. I’m sorry for your loss, but tickled to death for your Mom’s final resting place with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She was a good example for us to follow in her faithful life. I can say with a certainty that she raised two great son’s. While we will miss her presence here on earth, know that she is much better off now than she was. Should you need anything please do not hesitate to call on me.

  3. Butch & Eric and all the family, so sorry to hear of Sue’s passing. What a bright personality, she will be missed. Take comfort that she is with our Lord and Savior! Will miss seeing her at family gatherings.

  4. I first met Sue in our Sunday School class. My husband John and I love her and Otho. I remember making curtains for her. Loved visiting and her wonderful stories about her life. Her family was so important to her.

  5. Sue was the sweetest , kindest lady I have ever met. At the same time she was a spunky lady who knew her own mind and blazed her own trail. I admired her so much. It always a delight to visit her. She will be sorely missed! I loved her so much.

  6. A very special lady,loved by many, who was a joy to visit and enjoy the fellowship of being a member of WABC Sunday school Class with her. Praying for her family.

  7. Bill, Eric and Family, so sorry to learn of your Mother’s passing. She was always so kind to us who played basketball for your Coach Williams. I have many fond memories of my visits with her. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

  8. Dear Family,
    We have such found memories of your mother from our days at the Alliance church. She was always a beautiful woman on the outside but more importantly the inside. May you all find comfort in her faith in the Savior and the knowledge that we will join her on that great day in heaven. Prayers for all of you.
