I think that one memory that I have of Aunt Susan, is when I was back in Michigan for another Aunt's funeral in April 2017, was when we went to the Red Lobster. She was the 1st one to clean her plate and wanted to eat more and try some of the food that we had ordered. Anissa graciously shared her meal with her. (She had not been eating very well and they were surprised on how much she ate). Her pain is over and she is at peace, even though the family is in sorrow. Take care family. Luv Miriam & Mike Herron
