“Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” – John 14:1-2

Her faith in God was unwavering, and she found comfort in the promise that He prepares a place for His children in heaven. Susan’s life was a testimony of resilience, compassion, and devotion to her family.

She will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing her, but her love and faith will continue to live on through her family and friends.
