She was so stubborn and she was blunt and had no problem telling you how she really felt about something. These were qualities that were so easy to love and hate at the same time. There’s a type of strength in those qualities that not everyone has. Susan sure did. She was incredibly strong and she was always willing to lend her strength to anyone who needed it. She was so caring and she took care of everyone around her. Her children say she was a saint. She never complained about the chaos of raising 4 wild boys. She always supported her children and loved them. She never hesitated on telling her family how proud she was of them. She would always make birthdays so special for each one of her grandchildren and children. We always knew we could expect a call with her singing "Happy Birthday" each year. She lived for her "Kodak moments." She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and lived her life as pure as a person can and she carried herself as if she were in the presence of God. Her faith was steady and strong. She always found the good in any situation or circumstance. She was a beautiful person on the inside and out. Susan was one of a kind and there will never be another person quite like this wonderful woman.
