A beautiful Lady and so strong!! She will be missed!
Susie was always an admired person! She was so sweet and so lovely! As an upperclassman she was always friendly and cared so much about so many people. Our love and thoughts go out to her family. Many blessings to each of you.
Oh! my dear Susie! So sad to hear of her passing.
She was a very good person and we had fun reminiscing
when we were together. I remember her leading the band
as a majorette and always having fun.
My heartfelt sympathy to all of her loved ones.
Take care of each other as you grieve.
warmly, Cheryl Gay Gatti
