There’s so much I could say about Aunt Susan. She was such a lady, a gracious and loving mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt. I think everyone who knew her is a better person for it.
When I think of her, however, I almost think of her first as a peacemaker. That doesn’t mean she was always mediating arguments. She herself was so positive and loving that she only had to insert herself into a situation to quell disagreements. By never complaining or speaking ill of another she inspired similar behavior in those around her.
Truly, her loss is a heavy one. These shining lights do not stay among us forever; that is not God’s intention. Instead we are supposed to ourselves become lights in the darkness, until we too are welcomed into the never-setting light of paradise. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” [Matt. 5:9] May God welcome His child, Susan, into His heavenly kingdom. And may we live our own lives such that by His grace we are one day reunited. Amen.
Praying With My Feet 
I am very sorry for you loss. May her memory be eternal. ❤

Susan is my sister. She impacted countless people. I can’t describe the good she did in schools, in church, in the community. We are so so blessed to have her Susan as an example of how to live. Her memory will live on.
