Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Corinthians 13:4-6)

I will always love and keep you in my heart mom. 
You were timeless and classic and classy, I will always cherish our times together.  I could not have had a better mom.  I’ll be missing you until I see you again.  Jesus will keep you and Auntie Carole and Grandma  in His embrace until we meet again.  I love you always ❤️💕

Ron and I and Mom our wedding 2004

After her stroke …People would say… “ oh Poor Susan….”

I put Sue to work… put all the items so she could reach…she was so proud of her knife skills! We made a delicious Apple Cake…made with lots of LAUGHTER & LOVE💕
They went home and Susan got an electric chair☺️

Wonderful time with Ron & Susan during my Oakhurst visit with JoAnn & Joe 8-1-2018.  Always happy times with the McCulloughs!

Momma and her 4 kids Kori, Steven , Jason and Paige

We first met Susan in 2000 at the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association reunion in Washington, DC. Jamie had flown with Ron in the Army Reserve. She was warm and kind, with a unique sense of humor (a required trait when dealing with Ron). We got to know Susan over the years, mostly at the VHPA reunions. We will miss her. Our deepest condolences to Susan's family and loved ones. May she rest in Peace...

God's Garden
God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace bethine".
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
