"Our condolences to Dave and his family. Susanne was a great neighbor and friend to many. We loved to visit with her at Christmastime and throughout the year. She always brought a home-made treat to our family, even as her disease made it more difficult for her. She had faith in Jesus Christ and loved Him. She knew that He was watching over her. She easily talked about Jesus and knew that she was loved."
