Mrs. Tanner was my 3rd grade teacher at Holy Cross. I remember she was one of my favorites, always so cheerful and fair.

Sue was beautiful inside and out. She was a true Christian in every sense of the word - she walked the talk. What a wonderful mother and grandmother too. She was very proud of you all. Just know that my thoughts, prayers and hopes are with you. I know she will remain in your hearts as she will in mine too.

I can only recal talking to my Aunt Suzie twice in my life, because we lived across the country from each other. I really enjoyed our conversations. She talked about her boys, katrina and of course her grand kids. She was so proud of all of you. What stood out to me was just that she was such a genuine sweet person. I was very sad to here of her passing. Rest in peace Aunt Suzie

Suzi was a force for good in this world. If the earth was filled with people like her...or even more like her what a world it would be. A TRUE Christian no doubt. There will be a seat at the right hand for her.
