Mrs. Catlett, may your weary body now rejoice in the arms of our Lord.  I will always remember your smile.  Even in your worst of times, you had a smile for every one.

To your family, may God bring you comfort as you go through this journey of losing your wife, mother, grandma, nana, and most of all the one who loved you unconditionally.  May your memories of Susan and faith in Jesus sustain you.

Looking forward to seeing you again when Jesus returns.

Although I haven't seen Susan in many years, I've never forgotten her happy & joyful presence. Her advice to me as a 4 yr old in Sunday School and as a teenager at at Capitol Christian School has always been with me, and and always will. Her influence and impact on my life will never be forgotten.

Our relationship spanned at least 40 years, beginning at Bethel Temple in the 70's.  In God's sovereign design, in a season when Larry and I were walking thru a dark valley, our paths crossed again.  I was privileged to work for her at Heald College.  It was a wonderful blessing.   We pray God's peace and strength for Cliff and all the family.

What a wonderful person. Caring, smart, and positive. I feel honored to say I knew Susan. God bless your family as they are going to miss your light.

You were such a remarkable lady. You touched so many lives through your faith and dedication. I will never forget you. Love to your family and friends.

Oh the times we had during our youth group at the old Bethal Temple.  Double dating to retreats. You will be missed, but we will see you again.

Cliff and Trish, May God provide His Holy Spirit and peace as a comfort during this time. Susan was well respected and loved by everyone. I really enjoyed working with her when she was the high school principal and I was on the Education Advisory Committee. I can only imagine Heaven lighting up when God called her home. Blessings!

You were my Jr high principal at Capital Christian School. I remember you talking to our girls PE class about personal safety and your experiences as a detective. Thanks for believing in us. You have graduated into Heaven!

To the family of Susan and her multitude of friends, God Bless You as you go through the various stages and emotions after Susan's passing from this earthly life. She is still a wonderful person who will be missed greatly by all of us who loved her! Her personality was truly unique and genuine. I only hope I can have an influence on others the way she influenced my life.

Susan Catlett was a very special lady with a contagious smile!  She loved God and loved people, the highest call to us as Christians.  Thank you for leading by example and may your graduation to Heaven be the most amazing ceremony.  I can only imagine.
With fond memories,  Karen (Vierstra) Roth

Susan touched many lives including mine. Her life was a role model. She taught the very first Love and Logic class I attended as a foster parent and now I teach it to foster adoptive parents. Susan will not be forgotten! Banetta Bacchi

Susan was very special!  We grew up together at Bethel Temple.  Sending our love & prayers to all the family!

My thoughts and prayers go to Cliff and family on Susan's homegoing. She sounded like quite a lady and I wish I had the opportunity to have known her better. May God give you all comfort and peace during your time of grieving.

I thank Susan who helped keep a young man on the path she knew he needed to be on.  Susan he has such a special place in his heart for you.  I thank you for every thing you did for him.  I have reaped the blessings and call him husband and best friend.  We will both miss you.

This woman I loved so much. A wonderful and wise woman.

The Bitter:   Lou Gehrig Disease.
The Sweet:  The beautiful life of Sue.
The Bitter:  The Long journey of suffering.
The Sweet:  The Graduation.
The Greater Sweet:
And on "That Day" we will see our Lords' face and Susans!

I worked with Susan at Capital Christian School in the early years. I have wonderful memories of her interacting with the students. She touched so many lives, what a beautiful lady.

I am glad she is no longer in any pain, will suffer no more and when we meet, she will have a body that will never see disease again! Thank you Mrs. Catlett for the love, compassion and tough love you showed this lost young boy when you met him in high school. For your example was a link for me to embrace Jesus' invitation to "come unto Him and find rest".  Thank you, I am grateful.

Susan had a heart to help others every day that I knew her. She allowed her light to shine bright, even in the darkness of her ALS journey. Susan took on the challenge with dignity and showed how courageous she was every day! She was more than a friend, she was family and will be missed deeply. I'm thankful for her example, for her leadership, for the way she loved people and for the wisdom she shared. I was honored to know her and allow her to make a difference in my life for the better. She is healed in Jesus name!
Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"
