  10. Susie was an awesome Aunt and she will be missed greatly by all who knew her. I enjoyed her cooking alot. She helped me out so much when I was young. She hired me to do her weedeating and stacking wood as well as bought probably3 or 4 loads of firewood from me every year. She will be very missed… Jeff you took such great care of your mom and dad both. I want you to know that. I know it was hard on you. I respect you a lot for making sure they didn’t have to end up at a care facility or a nursing home…. I love y’all and I am praying…. Until we meet again Aunt Susie…..
