Susan and I worked together for a time at a walk in clinic. She was always there for a hug, a big smile, and a joke. I haven't seen hear in years, but always wondered. She was a beautiful woman with a touching soul. I will never forget her warm smile.
Sudan and I use to work together and became fast friends.
Even though I’ve moved away I have though sbout Susan many times and able to see her when I would come back to Fayetteville.
Sudan was a joy. We had many laughs and a few tears.
I am going to miss not seeing her from time to time and taking back like we’ve never been away.
Reed and Brent, I am so very sorry forty for your loss.
Love, Judy Zimpel
Dear Reid and Brent,
As you prepare for the visitation this evening, I wish I could attend. My thoughts will be with you today and tomorrow. Your Mom was a good friend who always made me laugh with her witty remarks. We met in Mrs. Adams Sunday School class in 1972. When I would visit your house on Old Wire Road, I could count on a large pitcher of iced tea ready for sipping. You, Aaron, and my Michael and Mark played together on occasion. I visited your house in Greenwood a time or two and remember the geese she fed from the lake! On my! On one visit she played a tape for me. It was a recording of her singing! She did have a beautiful voice, which I had never heard in song. I never missed seeing Susan after I moved from Fayetteville. Nearly every visit, we would end up in a Mexican restaurant. However, one lunch we were at Olive Garden and your Mother had a "wardrobe malfunction"! Two buttons on her blouse came undone simultaneously and revealed skin and bra. She did her usually "oops jump" in her seat and quickly refastened. We laughed about that for years, with me teasing her to not wear buttons on any of our outings! I have many memories with Susan...our observance of a shooting star sitting on her back patio on Village Drive, weeping together over the loss of Aaron at the hospital (I happened to be in Fayetteville that day) and phone calls that always started with apologies for not calling sooner and ended in "I love you". My last visits with Susan came almost a year ago in March. Steve and I flew to Fayetteville to visit with my brother, friends, and Susan. We saw her three times during that five day visit. And she made us laugh.

Dear Reid and Brent, I am sorry for your loss. All of us who knew and loved your mother feel that loss. I knew her since you lived on Old Wire Road, before you moved to Greenwood. She was a fun friend, easy to love because she was full of thoughtfulness, kindness, faith, and love. I won’t be at the visitation or service due to Covid. But my thoughts and prayers are with you.
With my sympathy,
Hannah Lee
