As you share with others ,talk & remember Susan you will find she is still living in your hearts.We will remember seeing the good times she spent with family & friends at the ball park .Our prayers are with your family ...

July 30, 2013

As I sit tonight my heart is heavy for you and your family. I have watched both Ty and Peyton grow up through their years at Bridgeton and I was fortunate to have both boys in my classroom in third grade and then Peyton again in fifth grade. During these years I grew to love and appreciate your boys as if they were my own. They are well mannered and respectful children who are always willing to help anyone in need. That behavior is taught by having parents who raise their children in a Christian home like Guenter and Susan have all these years. Family was everything to Susan. There are no words that can take away the pain but know God has a plan for your family. He is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted more than you are able. If there is ever a time that either Ty or Peyton need anything please do not hesitate to call me. I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Love, Mrs. Heather James

My daughter, Caitlyn, is the same age as Ty and they have known each other since Kindergarten. I also had the awesome privilege of teaching Ty in fifth grade and got to know Susan while she volunteered in my classroom that year. And this past year I got to know Peyton as well. Susan was such a sweet lady and a devoted mother! I always admired her for all she did to help her kids and be there for them. My heart is broken by this tragic loss of such a wonderful lady! I am praying for your family and asking for God to comfort you and send that indescribable peace that you can only experience through Him! Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your family.
