Susie and family, I pray for you peace in the days to come as you adjust to not having your dear Mom with you. I remember her very fondly as I recall how kind she was to all of us during our childhood and high school days. I got to speak to her at our high school reunion in 2010 Was so good that several of our parents attended.

Blessings to you and family,
Judy Sutterfield Harvey

Your Mom was such a special person. I would see her at WalMart , Harp's or the Dollar General. She always knew I was Iva Nell Poff Risner's daughter. I had not seen her in a while. I miss visiting with her when I would run in to her. She would ask how my parents were doing. She would say she was doing great. She looked same as always last time I saw her. I would not guess her to be 91. I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for your family!
