As.I was looking up old friends I came across this post. I have not spoken to Susan and het family in quite along time. Susan is a wonderful woman. I met her as a missionary serving in the Louisville Kentucky mission. She deserves mother of the year..as I watched her not only serve her children, served other people with a selfless act..she was always putting others first before herself.. I would like to thank Susan for all she did for me and the example that she was and I am sure still is...thanks elder seward
