My Sis, was the most courageous, beautiful, loving, funny, intelligent and bitchin soul. Admittedly a viewpoint that might be a bit focused at this time considering this is a comment posted on a crematorium website and in doing so it is an acknowledgment that Sis is no longer here on ‘this side’. Yet as a Christian Woman who understood concepts deep and profound about her faith, love and grace upon grace; of Him, I rest assured that we shall meet again at ‘That Great Rising Up Morn’ when we will sing praises as we feast on the finest fair at ‘The Welcome Table’. Until that time I relish in recalling those deep discussions we engaged in about politics, family, The Lord and surfing (not necessarily in that order). I admit, I’m tearfully rejoicing that she is indeed in His Loving Arms. Lvud
My Sister Susan-my best friend, my rock, my teacher. She always supported my decisions without criticism. We shared many of the same interests, when it came to being creative. We both loved sewing, and shared our completed projects by pictures. She so loved her family & friends, and stepped up when needed. She will be missed by so many, but never forgotten. She will always be with us in our hearts and in our memories created. She now sits at the “Welcome Table” in Heaven. Love you always Sis. 💓
Dear Ron, Joel, and Chris.
Our Susan will always be in our hearts and our thoughts and prayers for you will continue.
May you hold the wonderful memories in your hearts and May it bring you peace.
Fly high my friend until we meet again.

Worked with Susan for many years at the Hampton Salon. Still shocked and saddened by her too early passing. She was talented and fun and won’t ever be forgotten. Prayers to Joel and the entire family. ❤️
All the memories of my sister Susan and of growing up in Anaheim, Ca. came flooding back with her passing. What a great childhood we all had together. Susan, such a beautiful soul who will always be in my heart.
Prayers to Ron, his family and to Steve and family.
Rest my sister until we meet again💕
